Top 100 Best Available MLB Free Agents

It’s going to arguably be one of the most chaotic free agency periods in recent memory. Teams will also only have a month to get all their free agency signings in order before the league wide lockout doesn’t allow them to sign anyone. It’s going to be super hectic, and everyone expects this month to be full of signings.

Before that time comes though, we wanted to make sure you get a full list of our favorite free agents this year. We will rank them based off of WAR and list the top 100 available with some quick words on our top 10. Sit tight, grab a snack and enjoy our top 100 list!

(1) Randy Arozarena – OF

There isn’t a team in the league who wouldn’t like to have Arozarena in their lineup, his .997 fielding percentage in left field is just the icing on the cake as well. He is coming off of his sixth straight 20-20 season, as well as 120 hits or more in each of those seasons. He can honestly do it all, he’s got a solid bat and an even better glove. I expect multiple teams kick the tires on Arozarena and for him to sign for a very large amount.

(2) Tarik Skubal – SP

Having Skubal second on my list may surprise some readers but his 2026 production isn’t what we all expected. While that can be pointed to him missing a few starts in May, he still saw a big drop in his BAA with his slider. It was over a .30 point increase from his 2025 numbers. His ERA was the highest it’s been since 2023, but don’t let those stats fool you. Skubal is still that guy, and he’s prepared to give another 200+ strikeout season, there is just one question now. Which team will bite the bullet and pay top dollar for a top pitcher.

(3) Luis Arraez – 1B/2B

I’ve always been a big fan of Luis Arraez, he’s everything you want from a baseball player if you were a coach. He’s got amazing contact, rarely strikes out and plays his defensive positions incredibly well. He’s worn multiple different jerseys during his previous four years, but he’s still managed to give us four straight seasons with 180 hits or more. He’s a career .316 batting average player, with a .360 OBP and 1,213 career hits in only 993 games played. He will be entering his ninth MLB season, and is looking for another incredible season at the plate.

In 2026, 24’, 23’ and 2022, he qualified in the top five of the league with batting average, and winning the batting title in 2024.

(4) Seiya Suzuki – OF

Seiya Suzuki will be entering free agency for the first time in his MLB career and it’s likely going to be the last. It’s not every year that a player like Suzuki ends up on the market. Seiya Suzuki is the exact kind of player you want to lock down, and make sure he never wears another jersey. He has four straight seasons with 140 hits or more, and a slugging percentage that hasn’t fallen below .470 since 2023, which has been top 20 in the NL since that time. He does tend to strikeout just higher than the league average, but still can provide 15-25 HR power.

(5) Brandon Lowe – 2B

Brandon Lowe previous two seasons will definitely have teams taking a second peek on him. His previous two seasons have seen 30+ HR’s, 80+ RBI’s, with a slugging percentage that hasn’t fallen below .475. His 28.7% strikeout rate in 2026 could be a sign for just a bit of concern. Regardless of that, he’s continued to provide runs to both the Rays and the Pirates in his previous two seasons. A few teams will be calling on him to replicate that performance for a few more seasons before he calls it a career. I have full faith though that Brandon Lowe has some solid baseball left in him, and will continued to do Brandon Lowe things.

(6) Trevor Rogers – SP

Despite having a rough season in 2026, which was due to batters destroying his change-up compared to last season. His ERA also went up over three ticks in 2026. I still have full confidence that Rogers can end up being a solid 2-3 in a pitching rotation, and will figure it out. I’d personally like to see Rogers use his sweeper more and depend less on his change-up.

(7) Ty France – 1B

After coming off of a career year in a contract year, France is easily the most sought after first baseman that’s available. He has solid 10-20 HR power, which can consistently get driven opposite field. He struggled against the breaking ball this season compared to off-speed and fastball’s but still performed above expectations. He’s seen a .061 increase in his batting average since 2025, and a .142 increase in his slugging % since that time. He had a career-high 21 home runs in 2026 and is looking to keep improving that number. His exit velocity was also 34th in the league, and started barreling the ball more than he ever has in his career.

That’s just the first half of Ty France as well. His glove has a ton of innings on it, with a high fielding percentage. Through 6501.1 innings played at first, France has only committed 16 errors and has an impressive .997 career fielding percentage at first. If you’re looking for an everyday first baseman to lock down, this is your guy.

(8) Jake Bauers – 1B

Few will disagree, but Jake Bauers is definitely ready to throw into first base and get you the production you need. With over 2900 innings played at first with a .992 fielding percentage, he is a solid everyday first baseman who arguably helped the Brewers reach the World Series with his NLCS MVP performance. His baseball savant page is also something to droll over. There is more red on there than a Coke bottle.

His on-base percentage was good enough to rank in the top five of the National League, and his 94 walks also ranked top 10 in the NL. This was Bauers first season playing more than 120 games. If this is the Bauers that we will see from here on out, then i’m 100% certain that Bauers will continue to provide those big moments he gave the Brewers, to any of the other teams that come calling.

(9) Jazz Chisholm Jr – 2B

Jazz Chisholm Jr is still a base stealing machine. He has 112 stolen bases since 2024, 74 home runs and 365 hits. He still has an incredible pop to his bat but has always been just an okay defender. That’s putting it lightly as well, cause I’m certain, a few Yankees fans would disagree. He has a .974 fielding percentage at second base, and a .932 fielding percentage at third, which the Yankees used him at for some games. If there is one player in this top 10 that would benefit from becoming a full time DH, it’s Chisholm Jr. He can create opportunities on the base paths, and force the pitcher to pitch differently to one batter, with Chisholm on the base paths.

(10) Sonny Gray – SP

Despite being thirty-six years old, Sonny Gray delivered one of his best seasons of his career. Falling below sub 3.00 ERA, with a 1.15 WHIP and 149 strikeouts. While his strikeouts weren’t at the 200 range as they have been in previous years. Sonny Gray still has a lot in the tank, and I’d argue that he can still start an Opening Day game, and be the SP1. His pitch run value on his sinker (7) and sweeper (6) are also something to get excited about. His 2026 ERA is the lowest he has ever finished with, and if Sonny Gray says he isn’t done with baseball, then we shouldn’t count him out either.
