"The 2026 season is only just getting underway, but we at MLB Trade Rumors are always preparing for the next offseason. Much of the talk surrounding this coming winter is focused on the impending lockout, but just like any other year there will be a class of talented players reaching the open market."
"Griffin, 19, is now poised to debut three weeks shy of his 20th birthday after posting a .749 OPS in Spring Training and following that up with a 7-for-16 showing at Triple-A with three doubles and three steals."
"Giants utilityman Tyler Fitzgerald remains in DFA limbo after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He's coming off a tough year in 2025 where he struggled to hit at the big league level, but his speed, versatility and strong 2024 season could still make him an interesting pickup."
MLB Trade Rumors outlines three key developments for readers. The Free Agent Power Rankings for the upcoming offseason are being prepared, with notable players like Tarik Skubal included. Konnor Griffin, the Pirates' top prospect, is set to make his major league debut after a strong performance in the minors.
