Hot Prospects Still Up for Grabs in MLB Free Agency

The 2025-26 MLB offseason is in full swing, but many big-name players are still waiting for their dream deals. Stars like Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, and Bo Bichette are among those still on the market. The slow start to free agency has left fans wondering when these top talents will find new homes. Some players have already made moves. Kyle Schwarber is back with the Phillies, while Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz have moved on to the Orioles and Dodgers, respectively. These signings happened during the Winter Meetings in December, showing that deals are happening, just at a slower pace. Earlier this season, Dylan Cease made a huge splash by signing a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Blue Jays. This deal is tied for the fourth-largest among active pitchers and is a big win for the reigning AL champions. It shows that teams are willing to invest big money in top talent.While there aren't any superstars like Aaron Judge or Juan Soto available this year, there's still plenty of top talent on the market. Tucker, a four-time All-Star, is one of the most sought-after players. Despite a rough second half last season, he could be a game-changer for any team. Bregman, who was left on the market late last year, proved his worth with a 128 OPS+. On the pitching side, Framber Valdez and Ranger Suárez are standout options. Both would be valuable additions to any team's rotation. The slow start to free agency might be frustrating, but it also means teams have time to make smart decisions and find the right fits for their rosters.
