2025 MLB free-agent signing tracker, trades: D-backs sign ace Corbin Burnes

Updated Dec. 28, 2024 12:17 p.m. ET

The MLB free-agent market is officially open! 

Juan Soto was the biggest name on the board — and the 26-year-old slugger set a record for present-day value with his new deal with the New York Mets — but he was just one of several All-Stars available in what figures to be an active winter.

The best remaining free agents include 3B Alex Bregman, 1B Pete Alonso, OF Anthony Santander, SP Jack Flaherty, RP Tanner Scott, INF/OF Jurickson Profar, INF Ha-Seong Kim, RP Carlos Estévez, SP Nick Pivetta, OF Alex Verdugo and SP Max Scherzer.
