MLB free agency is fully open for business, but we’re mostly dealing with rumors right now. The top end of the market will probably start moving after Thanksgiving and by the time MLB’s Winter Meetings take place (they start on December 7th). Two of the big dominoes that need to fall for the rest of the market include Aaron Judge and Jacob deGrom.
Both free agents are searching for huge paydays, and deservedly so. Judge is likely looking for a similar annual salary to Mike Trout ($36.6 million per year). Meanwhile, deGrom reportedly wants to top Max Scherzer’s $43.
