41. Eddie Rosario

Sam- Atlanta Braves

Trent- Atlanta Braves

James- Atlanta Braves

We all have the NLCS hero returning to the Atlanta Braves and hopefully igniting some more magic in 2022.

42. Hector Neris

Sam- Philadelphia Phillies

Trent- Tampa Bay Rays

James- Tampa Bay Rays

43. Jonathan Villar

Sam- Milwaukee Brewers

Trent- Colorado Rockies

James- Colorado Rockies

I have never understood why Villar does not get a little more love? If he were willing to accept a backup role, I think he would be perfect for the Atlanta Braves to have play any infield position.

44. Mark Melancon

Sam- St. Louis Cardinals

Trent- Philadelphia Phillies

James- Minnesota Twins

45. Ryan Tepera

Sam- San Francisco Giants

Trent- Los Angeles Angels

James- Milwaukee Brewers

46. Corey Kluber

Sam- Texas Rangers

Trent- Minnesota Twins

James- Toronto Blue Jays

Just like some pitchers mentioned earlier, if he is healthy, this could be a great bargain for teams needing pitching.

47. Nelson Cruz

Sam- Minnesota Twins

Trent- Milwaukee brewers

James- Detroit Tigers

Perhaps no other player on this list is hoping the DH becomes universal than Cruz.

48. Danny Duffy

Sam- Kansas City Royals

Trent- Kansas City Royals

James- San Francisco Giants

49. Yan Gomes

Sam- Toronto Blue Jays

Trent- Chicago Cubs

James- Miami Marlins

Gomes, being the only catcher on this list shows you how weak this years free agency class is at Catcher.

50. Andrew Heaney

Seemingly signed the moment free agency opened, therefore was a freebie with the Dodgers pick.

So that’s how we see the free agency class going over the next few months. I think I speak for us all when I say we would love to just get a few correct, but most importantly the Freeman pick.

Interesting to note that none of us has the following four teams signing any big ticket free agents

  • Oakland Athletics
  • Arizona Diamondbacks
  • Pittsburgh Pirates
  • Cincinnati Reds
