*** UPDATE ***

Hey gang my next update will be out soon! As we are only a few days from February, in my file I’ve placed the below free agents to projected teams. In most cases it was a fit + budget + team needs. For instance I have Jack Flaherty projected to resign with Detroit based on his comfort there in 2024 season, team need, and he’s still in the market. I’d rather do this proactively than see the remaining free agents sign with a team that has not been connected at all.

For instance I suspect in real life there is zero chance Alex Bregman would sign with the Marlins….but that could happen in OOTP. I tried my best to put on the GM hat for everyone as we near the start of 2025 and Spring Training.

I feel JD Martinez to Seattle, and Max Scherzer to Washington are a bit of a stretch and not based on any rumors. Seattle however needs offense and Fangraphs has Mitch Haniger as the starting DH. Martinez is a big upgrade over Haniger. Scherzer has been tied to multiple teams but in my scenario a young Washington Nationals team comes calling to bring him in for veteran leadership and rotation stability.

If you disagree or do not like, the list of updates is below so you can edit them back to free agents if you wish!
