At his season-ending press conference, Philadelphia Phillies president Andy MacPhail cautioned reporters that this upcoming offseason’s free-agent class – which will include Manny Machado and Bryce Harper – isn’t the final one in baseball history. In fact, he pointed out that the 2019 free-agent class has a chance to be pretty impressive in its own right.
One potential free-agent after the 2019 season is Colorado Rockies four-time All-Star Nolan Arenado. The 27-year-old slashed .297/.374/.561 with 38 home runs, 110 RBIs and a 5.7 fWAR in 2018. He’s going to win his sixth consecutive Gold Glove Award at third base.
