Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso entered the offseason as two of the most highly anticipated free agents, both expected to land expensive long-term deals.

Roki Sasaki has long been tipped to end up on the West Coast. However, new reports suggest that he could end up in another country entirely. The Toronto Blue Jays have earned a reputation for repeatedly failing to sign major free agents. Just this offseason alone, they missed out on Juan Soto and, more recently, Corbin Burnes.

Sean Manaea was a big signing for the Mets. After his success in 2024, is he ready to be an ace in the Big Apple? Three years and $75 million was enough to keep Manaea as a Met after he opted out of the contract he signed last year.
