MLB Free Agent Rankings 2025-26: Kyle Tucker, Dylan Cease, Bo Bichette, Alex Bregman headline Top 100 list

MLB Free Agent Rankings 2025–26

Stars such as Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, and Cody Bellinger join top names like Kyle Tucker, Dylan Cease, and Bo Bichette in a 2025–26 MLB free agent class stacked with powerful hitters and reliable pitchers.

Kyle Tucker

After two seasons disrupted by injuries, Tucker’s 2024 half-season showcased the best performance of his career, and he continued strong in early 2025 until a hand fracture slowed him down. His earlier shin fracture from 2024 was also seen as a fluke, since he had played 505 out of 546 games over the previous four seasons. Despite strong baserunning instincts, his speed has declined, reducing his range in the outfield, though he may adapt well to first base later in his career.

Prediction: nine years, $360 million

Dylan Cease

Cease’s ERA numbers have fluctuated, yet his core metrics remained consistent for five years, with only a slight dip in velocity during 2023. While his final record in his walk year with the Padres was 8–12 and a 4.55 ERA, advanced stats like 3.46 xERA and 3.58 SIERA highlight his steadiness. Cease’s endurance is a key asset, as he has not missed a single start since debuting in mid-2019, and he still carries the potential to contend for the Cy Young award in coming seasons.

The 2025–26 MLB free agent class is one of depth and star power, featuring impactful players ready to reshape rosters across the league.
