Our free agent prediction contest is also officially open! Make your picks here. If you’d like to support the month-long effort that went into this list, please consider a subscription. We don’t know when, but eventually a new collective bargaining agreement will be in place. Rather than make unfounded assumptions about these many unknowns, we’ve made normal contract projections. Absent an official transaction freeze, teams may operate cautiously, lacking insight on potential important changes involving free agency, arbitration, luxury tax thresholds, the minimum salary, draft pick compensation, and the addition of the designated hitter to the National League. A lack of an agreement may prompt MLB to initiate a lockout, putting a freeze on free agency that could result in a compressed signing period once a new CBA is reached. While teams are still feeling the effects of reduced attendance, the biggest unknown is the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement on December 1st. Last offseason was colored by the uncertainty of the pandemic. One change for this year: we’ve included separate team picks for myself, Steve, and Anthony.
