The upcoming MLB free-agent class is absolutely loaded at the shortstop position, even after Francisco Lindor removed himself from the conversation by signing a long-term deal with the New York Mets.
Corey Seager, Carlos Correa, Trevor Story and Javier Baez are all star-caliber players at the position, Marcus Semien is enjoying a strong bounce-back season in Toronto, Andrelton Simmons remains an elite defender and contact hitter, and Freddy Galvis continues to be a useful stopgap option.
All of those guys could be on the move this winter.
In an attempt to set the scene for what could be a busy offseason of shuffling, ahead we've taken a crack at predicting who will start at shortstop for all 30 MLB teams on Opening Day next year.
