For the sake of keeping you, the baseball enthusiast, informed of the latest hot stove moves, we present our 2020-21 MLB Free Agent Tracker. In this post, we'll keep tabs on the 60 best free agents. This winter has been a long one for free agents, with teams taking a fiscally conservative approach because of the global pandemic.
Nonetheless, the free-agent market opened back on Nov. 1 and we honored the occasion by ranking and analyzing the 60 best free agents available this winter. Why 60 instead of the customary 50? Because the market is bigger than usual, and so too should be the list.
Below you'll find our tracker, complete with the player, their rank, their last team, and their new team. We'll keep this updated throughout the offseason, so make sure to bookmark it for easy access.
