MLB.com annually puts together the best list of free agents anywhere you’ll find. Gathering together players’ fWAR from the last two seasons combined separated by position, we get a better idea of how each man’s career has gone without having to do extensive early digging. It can help give us an early indication of who might be right for the New York Mets and who to steer clear of before their Baseball-Reference page even loads.
While this list does only include MLB free agents and not the numerous players who’d be considered minor league free agents, we can come away realizing the least valuable of all of the names listed here was actually a member of the 2025 Mets.
