As February ends, the MLB free agency market has nearly dried up with most key signings completed ahead of Spring Training. Only four pitchers remain from the Top 50 free agents: Jose Quintana, Kyle Gibson, David Robertson, and Spencer Turnbull. On the hitting side, just J.D. Martinez is notable following the Cubs' signing of Justin Turner, significantly restricting options for teams needing offense. Martinez, despite having a strong career, had a disappointing previous season, raising questions about his performance going forward as he enters his age-37 season.
Unlike last year, when top free agents lingered, this year's major signings occurred well before Spring Training, leaving just four pitchers unsigned and one hitter.
The market shows a stark contrast to previous offseasons; this year, only J.D. Martinez remains as a notable hitting option for teams seeking offensive reinforcement.
Despite a down year, J.D. Martinez has a strong hitting track record, yet as he approaches age 37, his recent performance raises concerns for prospective teams.
Teams needing offensive upgrades face a limited selection, highlighting the significance of timely free agency moves, especially with most top talent now off the market.
