While free agency is officially open, no major moves have yet to be made by any teams except for the Los Angeles Angels, who have been busy. But before the Hot Stove really starts to heat up and players begin to move like nobody's business, the staff here at District On Deck decided to compile our free agency predictions to get everything on the record. With that being said, let's take a look at everyone's picks!
We couldn't do every single free agent, so we compiled a list of about 30 or so free agents to make our predictions as to where they will sign this offseason. Please note that these predictions are based on what we think will happen, not necessarily what we want to happen.
Each player that we chose will have a number next to them which represents the number of staff members that predicted that the player will sign with that team. I also will include framework for what a potential deal could look like next to their name as well, signifying an average of what we anticipate them signing for. Big shoutout to the team here at District On Deck, and we'll be keeping an eye on who got the most correct predictions by the end of it!
All Nationals additions by each staff member were underlined as well.
