The looming MLB lockout has triggered an NBA-style free-agent frenzy. However, it gonna be wild when the lockout ends. Let's have a look at the top 5 free agents who are left.
Max
Correa, once linked to the Astros, Tigers, Yankees and even Dodgers has more recently received interest from the Chicago Cubs. Correa has even stated that he admires Cubs fans and has always loved playing at Wrigley Field.
Kris Bryant is finally an MLB free agent, one year later than he would have been if not for the Chicago Cubs’ service-time manipulation. All things considered, the All-Star slugger might be better off this offseason coming off an excellent 2021 season.
A stacked shortstop class has hit the free-agent market, but none of those players has a more fascinating case than Trevor Story. The two-time Silver Slugger Award winner has gone through his share on inconsistencies, but there’s no doubt he has all the tools to be one of the game’s most elite players and, perhaps, the best of this year’s free-agent crop.
Freddie Freeman
Clayton Kershaw
The thought of Clayton Kershaw not being a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers is difficult to fathom. However, it could be a reality in the coming months with the team having a bevy of promising young pitchers and Kershaw missing a considerable amount of starts over the past six years.
