The biggest free agent contract of the 2040-41 offseason went to 25-year old 2B Noel Goulet, the reigning Caribbean League MVP with Santo Domingo. He stayed in the Caribbean on an eight-year, $357,500,000 deal with Salvador. This briefly made him the highest-paid player in Central American Baseball Association history. Later on, Puerto Rico re-signed CF Tulio Arias at $358 million over eight years to just beat him out.

Below are the top free agent signings from the offseason. PROGRAMMING NOTE: I accidentally forgot to take the snapshot prior to the season, so the info reflects these players from AFTER the 2041 campaign. I also forgot to take the snapshot of the top ranked players in the world entering the season; my bad.

MILESTONE WATCH

On the world leaderboard entering 2041, veteran players Binh Tang (3977) and Jamel Forsyth (3955) are both primed to reach 4000 hits for their combined pro careers; a mark only met by eight in world history. Tang enters his fourth MLB season at age 41 and his second with Houston. He’s also chasing the 900 home run milestone and approaching the top 10 all-time for runs scored and top 20 for RBI. Forsyth at age 44 moved to West African Baseball for the first time and Bamako after struggling in his fifth and final MLB campaign.

Entering his 20^th season with Orlando, Jackson Brafford has 922 home runs and 2309 RBI. He’s just behind Isaac Cox’s 929 homers and 2333 RBI to become MLB’s all-time leader. 39-year old Neil Hollinger meanwhile has 883 homers and 2130 RBI. After three seasons in Toronto, Hollinger joined Washington on a three-year, $117,500,000 deal. Both are close to 2000 runs scored, which only four MLB players have breached. Pat Eichelberger (802) and Will Desbiens (800) are both also climbing MLB’s homer chart.

ALB hit king Ahmed Yasser Basha (3825) could join the 4000 hit club as well. He missed all of 2040 to a broken kneecap, ending a magnificent 20-year run for Muscat. Basha was a free agent at age 40 and signed a one-year, $16,400,000 deal with Alexandria. He has 746 doubles, giving him a shot at passing Abdul Rahman Abu Hamal’s ALB record of 773. Basha is at 2011 runs scored, likely to move to #2 in ALB, but he’s still two good years from catching Nordine Soule’s 2162.

ABF home run king Sultan Han at age 41 has a shot at becoming the eighth pro with 1000 career homers, sitting at 975. He’s also likely to be the first in ABF with 2000 runs scored. Han has 3205 hits with a good shot to move into ABF’s #2 spot, although the top spot of Mehmet Fatih Canaydin (3696) is still likely three good seasons away.
