Here are the free agents for every team

November 7th, 2024

With the exclusive-negotiating period for free agents coming to an end earlier this week, MLB's offseason is about to heat up.

Below, you'll find a breakdown of each team's free agents in the wake of Monday's deadline to decide on options for the 2025 season.

Note: This list is meant to serve as a snapshot of each club's free agents before the influx of activity to come. We'll also be tracking the Hot Stove moves for every team throughout the winter right here. All players below are free agents as of Wednesday, Nov. 6.

AL EAST

Blue Jays

LHP

The Blue Jays opted to sell at this year’s Trade Deadline and focused on moving out players who were due to reach free agency at the end of 2024, so their list of free agents only includes Yarbrough. Toronto will now look to build its roster back up with an eye on contending in 2025, which is the final year of team control for both Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.

Orioles

RHP , LHP , DH , RHP , C , LHP , OF , OF

Burnes, who was acquired from the Brewers last offseason, headlines Baltimore’s list of free agents. Re-signing the ace pitcher will likely be a priority for the club, but he'll have no shortage of suitors. The same goes for Santander after he became the eighth switch-hitter in MLB history to produce a 40-homer campaign.

Rays

After exercising Brandon Lowe’s $10.5 million club option ($1 million buyout) for 2025, the Rays don't have any free agents this offseason.

Red Sox

RHP , C , RHP , RHP , OF , RHP , RHP , RHP

Boston’s offseason trade with the Cardinals for O’Neill worked out well, with the outfielder producing 31 homers and an .847 OPS over 113 games, but he is now a free agent.

The Red Sox are expected to seek rotation help this offseason, though they could have Pivetta back if he accepts their qualifying offer. Boston also has some vacancies to address at the back of its bullpen, with Jansen and Martin heading to free agency.

Yankees

LHP , RHP , RHP , RHP , 1B , OF , 2B , RHP , OF

Acquired from the Padres in a trade last offseason, Soto formed an all-time great hitting duo with Aaron Judge in 2024, but he could depart as a free agent after just one season in the Bronx. Coming off his best year yet (41 HRs, 178 OPS+), Soto is the top free agent on the board this offseason as he enters his age-26 campaign.

Although the Yankees’ offseason will center around re-signing the superstar outfielder, they do have some other areas to address as well, including the right side of their infield. Torres is a free agent after a disappointing 2024 season (15 HRs, .709 OPS), as is Rizzo, whose $17 million club option ($6 million buyout) was declined. New York’s bullpen could also have some notable departures, with Holmes, Kahnle, Hill and Loáisiga all entering free agency.

One player the Bronx Bombers don't have to worry about replacing? Gerrit Cole. The ace righty initially exercised his opt-out clause, but he ultimately agreed to return to the Yankees on his existing deal, which has four years and $144 million left on it.

AL CENTRAL

Guardians

RHP , LHP , RHP

Bieber, the 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner, is a free agent after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. Boyd, who signed a one-year deal with the Guardians in June while completing his own comeback from Tommy John surgery, is also now a free agent after giving Cleveland’s rotation a lift with a 2.72 ERA over eight starts during the regular season. With Cobb joining them in free agency and Gavin Williams, Triston McKenzie and Logan Allen all coming off rough 2024 seasons, Cleveland's rotation is in need of serious work this offseason.

Royals

SS , 2B , OF , 1B , UTIL , RHP , OF , LHP

The Royals settled their most pressing free-agent question when they signed Michael Wacha to a three-year deal through 2027. Wacha had an excellent year after signing with the Royals last offseason, posting a 3.35 ERA over 166 2/3 innings -- his highest total since 2015. His previous deal included a player option for 2025.

Lorenzen gave the Royals’ rotation a boost in August after being acquired at the Trade Deadline, though he missed most of September with a left hamstring strain. DeJong was also acquired at the Trade Deadline and produced six homers with a .952 OPS in his first 22 games with the team, but he struggled thereafter (.262 OPS) and was relegated to a bench role late in the year.

Tigers

The Tigers were Deadline sellers in 2024 and traded away a number of pending free agents -- including starter Jack Flaherty -- only to make an improbable run to the playoffs. This offseason could prove pivotal as Detroit tries to build a sustainable winner.

Twins

RHP , INF , OF , OF , 1B , RHP

Santana was a successful free-agent addition for the Twins on a one-year deal, producing 23 homers with a .748 OPS and providing strong defense at first base. He's a free agent once again. Kepler is also a free agent after 10 seasons with Minnesota. The outfielder struggled in 2024 (eight homers, .682 OPS), but he has five seasons on his résumé with at least 19 homers and has been a solid defender in right field throughout his career.

White Sox

RHP , RHP , RHP , 3B , RHP , C

Coming off a record-setting 121 losses in 2024, the White Sox could move on from all of these players. That includes Moncada, who has produced just 43 homers with a .721 OPS over 404 games since he signed a five-year, $70 million extension in 2020. Chicago declined Moncada's $25 million club option for 2025, making him a free agent.

AL WEST

Angels

2B , LHP , OF , RHP

This is a lot different than last offseason, when the Angels had the biggest free agent on the market in Shohei Ohtani. Out of these four players, Pillar was the best of the bunch with 0.6 WAR (per FanGraphs) in 2024, but the veteran outfielder is pondering retirement.

Astros

3B , LHP , OF , RHP , OF , LHP , RHP , RHP

Bregman has been integral to the Astros’ incredible run of success dating back to 2017, but he could become the latest star to depart the club as a free agent, following Gerrit Cole, Carlos Correa and George Springer.

Verlander also left as a free agent to sign with the Mets after the 2022 campaign, though he was traded back to Houston just a few months into his New York tenure. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is a free agent once again, but it’s uncertain if Houston will look to bring him back after a rough 2024 campaign (5.48 ERA over 17 starts).

Kikuchi was traded from the Blue Jays to the Astros at the Deadline and went on to record a 2.70 ERA with 76 K's over 60 innings in a Houston uniform, boosting his stock significantly ahead of free agency.

Athletics

LHP , RHP , LHP , RHP , LHP

The A's had mixed results with these five veteran pitchers, each of whom was acquired between the end of the 2023 season and the start of 2024. McFarland and Alexander were solid bullpen arms for Oakland, but the team whiffed on Stripling (6.01 ERA over 85 1/3 innings), Wood (5.26 ERA over 39 1/3 innings) and Gott (missed entire season following Tommy John surgery).

Mariners

RHP , 2B , 1B , 3B

Seattle’s issues finding production at second base continued in 2024, with Polanco posting a career-low .651 OPS over 118 games after being acquired from the Twins in a trade last January. The Mariners declined Polanco's $12 million club option for 2025, making him a free agent.

The Mariners acquisition of García at the Trade Deadline didn’t work out, either, as the right-hander made just 10 appearances for Seattle with a 6.00 ERA before going down with an elbow injury. The club did have some success with its Deadline deal for Turner, who recorded a .766 OPS over 48 games.

Rangers

LHP , 3B , RHP , LHP , OF , C , RHP , RHP , RHP , RHP , RHP

The Rangers will look to regroup after following up their 2023 World Series title with a 78-84 record this past season. Texas’ starting lineup is intact heading into 2025, but the team’s pitching staff has some notable free agents, both in the rotation (Eovaldi, Heaney, Scherzer) and the bullpen (Yates, Robertson, Leclerc, Chafin).

NL EAST

Braves

RHP , RHP , C , OF , LHP , RHP , 2B/OF , LHP , RHP , 3B

The Braves picked up their club option for Marcell Ozuna ($16 million) and signed Aaron Bummer to a two-year contract extension, but Fried’s asking price could be outside the club’s comfort zone. During president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos’ tenure, the Braves’ largest overall expenditure for a pitcher has been $75 million (Spencer Strider) and the largest expenditure for a free-agent hurler has been $30 million (Reynaldo López).

Fried is one of the top available starters in free agency, having recorded the best ERA+ (151) among pitchers with at least 500 innings since the beginning of 2020. Atlanta’s rotation could also lose Morton, who might retire after leading the team with 30 starts in his age-40 season. Two key bullpen pieces (Minter, Chavez) are now free agents, too.

Marlins

The rebuilding Marlins traded away a multitude of veterans prior to the Deadline, including current free agents Tanner Scott and Josh Bell. Miami's remaining roster is comprised of players who either haven't reached arbitration yet or have multiple arbitration years remaining.

Mets

1B , OF , RHP , INF , LHP , DH , RHP , RHP , LHP , LHP , RHP , RHP , RHP , OF

Alonso is only 27 home runs away from becoming the Mets’ all-time leader, but it’s possible the two sides will part ways this offseason, leaving New York with a huge hole to fill in its lineup. The Mets could also be facing significant turnover in their rotation, with Manaea, Quintana and Severino all free agents. The trio combined to make 94 starts with a 3.71 ERA over 534 innings in 2024.

Iglesias had been out of the Majors for more than a year when the Mets called him up on May 31, but he proceeded to hit .337 with an .829 OPS over 85 games while becoming a key figure in the team's clubhouse.

Nationals

RHP , LHP , 1B/OF , RHP

Corbin helped the Nationals win the World Series in the first year of his six-year, $140 million deal, but he went 33-70 with a 5.62 ERA over the final five years of the contract.

Williams recorded a 2.03 ERA for Washington in 2024, but he missed roughly three months with a right flexor strain and made just 13 starts on the year. Gallo has recorded a .166 batting average with a .665 OPS for four teams over the past three seasons, striking out in 40.6% of his plate appearances in that span.

Phillies

RHP , RHP , RHP

The Phillies took care of their top pending free agent back in March when they signed ace Zack Wheeler to a three-year, $126 million extension through 2027. Philadelphia's rotation and starting lineup are largely set for 2025, but the team will have some holes to fill in its bullpen, with Estévez and Hoffman entering free agency.

NL CENTRAL

Brewers

SS , LHP , RHP , RHP , RHP , C

Coming off an impressive walk year that saw him record career highs in homers (32), doubles (33), steals (21) and RBIs (112) with a .793 OPS, Adames is poised to become the latest shortstop to sign a lucrative contract in free agency after Corey Seager, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson did so in recent offseasons. While the Brewers are in jeopardy of losing Adames, they retained one of their key pitchers by exercising Freddy Peralta's $8 million club option.

Cardinals

DH , RHP , 1B , RHP , RHP , RHP

Two years after winning the NL MVP Award, Goldschmidt had the worst season of his career in 2024, hitting 22 homers with personal lows in average (.245), on-base percentage (.302) and slugging (.414). The 37-year-old, who spent eight years with the D-backs before playing six seasons with the Cardinals, is a free agent for the first time.

The Cards got solid seasons from Gibson (4.24 ERA over 30 starts) and Lynn (3.84 ERA over 23 starts) after signing them to one-year deals last offseason, but both pitchers are free agents once again after St. Louis declined their club options for 2025.

Kittredge, who recorded a 2.80 ERA with an NL-leading 37 holds over 70 2/3 innings in 2024, is also now a free agent.

Cubs

RHP , LHP

Cody Bellinger's decision to exercise his 2025 player option left Kyle Hendricks as the Cubs' most notable free agent in this year's class. Hendricks' days on the North Side of Chicago are over after 11 seasons with the club, as he agreed to a one-year deal with the Angels on Wednesday, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. He posted a career-high 5.92 ERA in 2024.

Pirates

LHP , LHP , LHP , LHP , C , DH

McCutchen signed a one-year deal with the Pirates in each of the past two offseasons, and it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see Pittsburgh bring back the franchise icon once again. The veteran remains a useful piece, having recorded 20 homers with a .739 OPS over 120 games in 2024. Chapman also made positive contributions for the Bucs in 2024, recording a 3.79 ERA with 14 saves and 98 strikeouts over 61 2/3 innings.

Reds

RHP , RHP , 1B , RHP , C , RHP , 1B/OF , SS , LHP

From the Reds' perspective, Martinez is the most important player on this list, having recorded a 3.10 ERA over 142 1/3 innings -- including a 2.42 ERA over 63 1/3 innings after moving to the rotation full-time in August. He opted out with one year and $12 million left on his deal, though it's still possible he'll return after receiving a qualifying offer. Farmer was also a valuable member of the team's pitching staff in 2024, recording a 3.04 ERA over 71 innings.

NL WEST

D-backs

1B , OF , RHP , INF , DH , RHP , 1B

Arizona retained two pivotal players by exercising its club options for Eugenio Suárez ($15 million) and Merrill Kelly ($7 million), but Walker is a free agent after producing 95 homers and a 123 OPS+ with elite defense at first base over the past three years. Pederson (151 OPS+ in 2024) and Grichuk (140 OPS+ in 2024), who both thrived after signing one-year deals with the D-backs last offseason, are also free agents.

Dodgers

RHP , RHP , UTIL , OF , RHP , LHP , RHP

Teoscar Hernández was a superb addition for the Dodgers on a one-year, $23.5 million contract in free agency, making the All-Star team and hitting .272 with 33 homers, 99 RBIs and an .840 OPS over 154 games.

Flaherty put up a 3.58 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 10 starts after joining Los Angeles at the Trade Deadline and recorded a 3.17 ERA with 194 K’s and 38 walks over 162 innings overall between the Tigers and Dodgers. It was a strong bounceback year for the righty, who signed a one-year, $14 million contract with Detroit as a free agent last offseason after pitching to a 4.99 ERA in 2023.

Buehler struggled to the tune of a 5.38 ERA over 16 regular-season starts in his return from Tommy John surgery, though he did end the playoffs with 10 scoreless innings over his final three appearances, including a save to close out Los Angeles' World Series title. Treinen's return from injury went more smoothly than Buehler's, with the 36-year-old re-emerging as one of the Dodgers’ top late-inning relief options.

As for Kershaw, the veteran left-hander declined his player option but said he intends to return to the Dodgers for his 18th season with the franchise.

Giants

OF , C , OF , LHP

Snell got off to a rough start after signing with the Giants late in Spring Training, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner posted a 1.23 ERA with a 114-to-30 K/BB ratio across 80 1/3 innings in his final 14 starts. On the heels of that incredible run, he opted out of the last year on his two-year, $62 million deal to become a free agent again. Conforto improved his numbers in his second year with San Francisco, hitting 20 homers with a .759 OPS -- including an .853 OPS away from pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.

Padres

SS , C , C , SS , OF , LHP , OF , LHP , INF

More than a decade after he was baseball’s top prospect, Profar delivered the best season of his 11-year career in 2024, earning an All-Star selection and hitting .280 with 24 homers and an .839 OPS. The 31-year-old is poised to do much better for himself, financially speaking, than last offseason, when he signed a one-year, $1 million contract with San Diego.

Higashioka, who was acquired from the Yankees as part of the trade package for Juan Soto and opened 2024 in a part-time role, ended up becoming the Padres’ starting catcher during the summer and finished the season with a career-high 17 homers. Kim declined his mutual option to become a free agent after four years with the Padres, during which he recorded 10.9 fWAR.

Scott and Pérez were both excellent Trade Deadline additions for the Padres. Scott finished with a 1.75 ERA, 84 strikeouts and 22 saves overall between San Diego and Miami and is one of the top relief options available this offseason.

Rockies

RHP , C

Bard, 39, said he's planning to continue his career after missing all of 2024 while recovering from flexor tendon surgery on his right elbow. Whether that happens with Colorado or another team remains to be seen. Stallings was a solid pickup for the Rockies after being non-tendered by the Marlins, producing nine homers with an .810 OPS -- well north of his lifetime .647 OPS coming into 2024 -- over 82 games.
