With a wealth of impact shortstop talent and high-profile starting pitching, the 2021-22 MLB free-agent class will be a memorable one.
In April, we laid out our preliminary ranking of the top 25 free agents based on expected production going forward, age and potential earning power.
Those rankings will be updated each month throughout the season with 2021 performance a bigger factor as sample sizes grow. It's time for our first update to that initial list.
Players with opt-outs and team or player options were not included, but we listed them separately at the beginning.
