As MLB offseason begins, we are returning the MLB Free Agent Prediction Contest. Using the 2025 FanGraphs Top 50 Free Agents list we have created our competition to find out who is the best Free Agent predictor.
RULES
- Choose the correct signing team for each of the Top 50 MLB Free Agents and you will receive one point for a highest possible score of 50 out of 50 points.
- In the case of a tiebreaker being needed, the tiebreaker will go to the predictor with the highest correct signing. Continued tiebreakers will flow down the rankings until a winner is chosen. In the extremely rare case of an identical submission, we will use the earlier time/date submission.
- There is an option for "MLB Unsigned on Opening Day" pertaining to all players not signed to an MLB club by 1st pitch on Opening Day. This will include players who hold out beyond Opening Day, retire, or who choose to play internationally. MLB Opening Day currently is March 27th.
- You do not have to choose the terms of the deal, just the correct team.
- You must include your Reddit username to get credit for your submission. MAKE SURE YOUR REDDIT USERNAME IS SPELLED CORRECTLY!
- If you make multiple submissions before the deadline, only the latest submission will be accepted.
DEADLINE
- All Submissions must be made by Nov 24th at 12AM PT (midnight between Saturday/Sunday). This allows for all non-tendered to be completed
- Any player who signs or accepts their Qualifying Offer before the Nov 19th deadline will be removed from the competition. This will ensure that if you vote early, you will not be penalized for doing so.
- All submissions will be made public shortly after in a Google Sheet for the world to see, so be prepared to defend yourself if necessary.

The most important ballot today.
Excited to improve on my 2/50 performance from last year.
Maybe I can hit 3/50 this time. 💪💪💪
free money with Gerrit Cole being in the ballot, ahhyessir already 1/50
Absolutely 0 thoughts in those picks, just vibes for me
I got like 3 of these right last year
Well I had a massive heat check when I predicted Boagerts to San Diego. Let’s see if I can cook again.
Going through the list a lot of these dudes are up there in age.
I don’t think I had any great rhyme or reason for any of these, just choosing
I already forgot the teams I chose and it’s been 48 seconds
Me knowing nothing about where any of these people (except Cole) will end up and picking just off of vibes.
Oh boy I can’t wait to get 3/50 correct again!

Poor Brandon Belt, he was the only Top 50 FA in either MLBTR or /r/baseball Prediction Contest to not get signed at all.
I’m bound to get at least one right by picking all the geezers to either sign with the team with which they broke into the majors with or the White Sox/Angels
anyone tracking private jets to Toronto?
