Nine-figure contracts signed in Major League Baseball free agency always generate a ton of buzz, but sometimes it's the seven-figure (or even the occasional six-figure) acquisitions that push a team over the top.
Would the Cleveland Guardians have made the postseason last year if not for their $750,000 signing of Ben Lively?
Surely the Padres wouldn't have won 93 games without scooping up Jurickson Profar for $1M.
And Luke Weaver re-signing with the Yankees for $2M sure ended up being a bigger than deal than anyone could have guessed at the time.
So, who might be this year's budgetary booms, if you will?
