A while back I started a series of posts, looking at some of the available MLB free agents, and trying to see if they would be a good fit for the San Francisco Giants. I was working backwards through the Fangraphs free agent rankings, but they kept changing so I gave it up.
So instead of focusing on those boring-but-realistic options who might get $5 million to give a team 0.9 WAR, let’s focus on the much more exciting — and subsequently less realistic — options at the top of the pecking order.
Let’s look at Fangraphs’ top 10 free agents, as well as their contract estimates, and see if any will be enough to tempt the Giants decision-makers — or their bosses — to open up the checkbook.
