The World Series hasn’t even started yet and already MLB rumors about trades and free agents are heating up. Texas Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee is once again at the forefront of the offseason rumors as he will be a free agent this offseason, and many teams are lining up to get his signature.
Besides Lee, this years crop of free agents is one of the weaker ones we have seen over the past few years.
In recent years, a weak group of free agents has led to teams overspending for mediocre talent. However, due to downfall of the economy many teams have less money and will be less willing to spend big on players.
This could lead to more players taking one year contracts to wait another season to test the market, which will lead to more players switching teams.
While it is still early, everything is speculation at this point. Here are some educated guesses on where 10 players will end up next season.
