It typically doesn’t take long for MLB’s top free agent to find a new home. The biggest domino usually falls by the conclusion of December’s winter meetings. Last offseason, Juan Soto was the top prize available. The one before that, it was Shohei Ohtani. Before that, Aaron Judge. They all signed their record-breaking contracts by mid-December.
That is not the case this time around. Kyle Tucker is still on the market, and with each passing day it seems less likely his next contract will set some sort of new free agency benchmark. In fact, the top six free agents from our original free agent rankings and signing predictions in November have yet to put pen to parchment.
