NEW YORK — MLB’s offseason is in full swing.

The Los Angeles Dodgers paraded as World Series champions, baseball’s general managers rolled up to Las Vegas for the GM meetings, and the major awards have all been handed out.

Now, the real fun begins.

Although free agency technically opened on Nov. 6, none of the marquee players have signed as the market continues to develop.

We’re less than a month away from the winter meetings in Orlando, Fla., where offseason dominoes always fall, but plenty could happen before then, too.

Here’s a list of the top free agents as MLB’s hot stove starts to heat up.

Kyle Tucker

The five-tool outfielder didn’t deliver his best numbers in his first — and possibly only — season with the Chicago Cubs, but Tucker still walked away with his fifth All-Star selection, his second Silver Slugger Award and an .841 OPS.

Tucker, who turns 29 in January, would fit in the middle of any lineup with his lefty swing, and he could command a contract exceeding $400 million.

Bo Bichette

Bichette picked a great time for a bounce-back season, as his .311 average, 18 home runs and 94 RBIs as a primary shortstop make him the prize of this infield class.

The longtime Toronto Blue Jay was even better when he returned from a knee injury for the World Series, batting .348 with a .923 OPS.

He turns 28 in March.

Framber Valdez

This isn’t the deepest class for top-tier starting pitching, but the Houston Astros’ co-ace stands out as the top choice.

Last season was the fourth in a row in which the left-handed Valdez made at least 28 starts, pitched at least 176 1/3 innings and posted an ERA no higher than 3.66.

He turns 32 this week.

Kyle Schwarber

Schwarber, who turns 33 in March, is no more than a designated hitter at this point, but he’s as good of a power hitter as they come.

His 56 home runs led the National League, while his 132 RBIs were the most in baseball.

The Dodgers and Yankees won’t be interested given their commitment at DH, but Schwarber should have plenty of big-market suitors, including the incumbent Philadelphia Phillies.

Cody Bellinger

The do-it-all Bellinger was an excellent fit for the Yankees, from his sturdiness in all three outfield positions to the lefty swing that excelled in the Bronx.

The Yankees want to keep him, but his versatility should make him attractive to many teams, including the Mets, who need a center fielder.

Bellinger, 30, could clear $150 million.

Alex Bregman

Despite declining production, Bregman received his share of long-term offers last offseason, but he opted to join the Boston Red Sox on a three-year, $120 million contract with opt-outs.

Bregman then delivered a resurgent season, which resulted in his first All-Star selection and highest OPS (.821) since 2019.

The third baseman, who will be 32 on Opening Day, opted out and likely seeks a longer-term deal this winter, with Boston considered a favorite to retain him.

Pete Alonso

Alonso also endured a prolonged free agency last winter, and even though he’s now entering his age-31 season, the slugging first baseman figures to have a more robust market this time around.

That’s because Alonso rebounded from a relatively down 2024 to hit 38 homers with 126 RBIs and an .871 OPS as Juan Soto’s main protector in the Mets’ lineup.

A reunion with the Mets will always make sense but is far from guaranteed.

Edwin Diaz

Another Mets favorite primed for a big payday, Diaz was as dominant as ever last season with a 1.63 ERA, 28 saves and 98 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings.

The flame-throwing Diaz, who turns 32 in March, opted out of the final two years and $38 million of his contract and is surely looking to at least double both numbers.

Munetaka Murakami

Perhaps the most intriguing free agent is Murakami, a Japanese corner infielder whose name has been on the U.S. radar for a few years now.

In 2022, Murakami crushed 56 homers as a 22-year-old in Nippon Professional Baseball.

But even with that prolific power, there are questions about how well Murakami, 25, will fare against MLB pitching, considering his contact rate against NPB arms left much to be desired.

Tatsuya Imai

Poised for an even bigger paycheck than Murakami is Imai, a 5-10 left-hander whose slider, splitter and mid-90s fastball have scouts believing he could be a middle-of-the-rotation starter, if not a No. 2.

Imai, 27, pitched to 1.92 ERA in his eighth NPB season last year, and evaluators laud his deceptive delivery.

Dylan Cease

Cease is an established ace-type, yet he’s coming off of another up-and-down year.

The San Diego Padres right-hander pitched to a 4.55 ERA, marking the second time in three seasons that his ERA exceeded 4.50. And his 168 innings were his fewest in five years.

Still, the workhorse Cease has made at least 32 starts in five straight seasons, and his 215 strikeouts suggest there’s room for positive regression as he enters his age 30-season.

Michael King

And then there’s King, a former Yankees reliever who has operated as a full-time starter the past two and a half seasons.

King, 30, posted a 2.95 ERA and 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings over 173 2/3 innings in 2024 with the Padres, but his numbers dipped last season.

Injuries limited King to 15 starts, and he finished with a 3.44 ERA and a strikeout rate of 9.3 per nine.

Ranger Suarez

Suarez, 30, isn’t sexy, but he is steady.

Last season marked the third time in four seasons that the left-hander made at least 26 starts, exceeded 150 innings and posted an ERA of 3.65 lower.

The longtime Philadelphia Phillie would fit on just about any staff.

Eugenio Suarez

The other Suarez, 34, is far from a complete player, as evidenced by his .228 average and his subpar defense at third base.

But the righty-swinging Suarez totaled 49 home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Seattle Mariners last season, and teams are always willing to pay for power.

Zac Gallen

Another right-hander with ace experience, Gallen pitched to a career-worst 4.83 ERA last season with the D-Backs, though he had a 3.97 ERA after the All-Star break.

Still, Gallen is only two years removed from a third-place finish in National League Cy Young voting, and he owns a 3.58 ERA over seven big-league seasons.

The native of Somerdale, N.J., turns 31 in August.

Devin Williams

Williams’ season with the Yankees was certainly a roller coaster, as he posted a career-worst 4.79 ERA and was twice removed from the closer role.

But Williams finished the regular season with nine straight scoreless outings, and he did not allow an earned run in four playoff appearances. His strikeout rate of 13.1 per nine innings was down from his career rate, but it was still quite strong.

A two-time NL Reliever of the Year with the Milwaukee Brewers, Williams expressed an openness to returning to the Yankees.

But some think a smaller market might be a better fit for the 31-year-old, while the Dodgers could pursue him again after coming up short last offseason.
