Top MLB free agents 2024: Shohei Ohtani headlines 2023-’24 MLB free agency rankings

While the Major League Baseball season is underway, fans and clubs can’t help but think about the top MLB free agents in 2024. MLB free agency is one of the most exciting things about baseball and the upcoming crop of free agents adds to the intrigue for the winter.

It will come as no surprise that Shohei Ohtani is the best player in 2023-’24 MLB free agency. He is the face of baseball with his popularity seemingly increasing by the year. Not only is he a marketable star who can bring in tens of millions of dollars for a team, but he is also a perennial MVP candidate who can help lead his team to the World Series.

After Ohtani, the pool of top MLB free agents in 2024 drops off a bit. There is no Aaron Judge, Trea Turner or Xander Bogaerts to headline the list of everyday players. With Manny Machado signing an extension, the pool of free-agent hitters became thinner and more contract extensions during the season could shrink our list of top MLB free agents even further.

MLB qualifying offer 2024

Major League Baseball won’t announce the cost of a qualifying offer for the 2023-’24 MLB free agency period until this offseason. The price of the qualifying offer dropped to $17.8 million in 2019, climbed in 2020 and then dipped in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted MLB revenue. The 2024 qualifying offer could eclipse $20 million based on rising player salaries.

MLB qualifying offers by year

• MLB qualifying offer 2022: $19.65 million
• MLB qualifying offer 2021: $18.4 million
• MLB qualifying offer 2020: $18.9 million
• MLB qualifying offer 2019: $17.8 MLB

What is a qualifying offer in MLB?

A qualifying offer is a one-year offer MLB teams make to impending free agents. If a player has previously been offered the qualifying offer in their career or they were traded mid-season before becoming an MLB free agent, they aren’t eligible for the qualifying offer. If the QO is rejected, the club can receive a compensatory draft pick for the loss of that player in MLB free agency.

The qualifying offer in MLB is based on the mean salary of the 125 highest-paid players in MLB.

Who are the best MLB free agents in 2024?

Shohei Ohtani headlines the best MLB free agents available this winter. The two-way phenomenon may be one of the most coveted players ever in MLB free agency, because of his on-field talent and his marketability.

Here’s an early rundown of the top MLB free agents in 2024, with the ages reflecting how old they will be when MLB free agency begins.

1. Shohei Ohtani, starting pitcher and designated hitter, Los Angeles Angels

Shohei Ohtani is the best player available in MLB free agency and it’s not close. There are several reasons why Ohtani will be so highly-coveted this offseason. It starts with what he can do on the field, but it extends well beyond it.

We’ll start with his output with the bat, which on its own makes him the best hitter in MLB free agency. From 2021-’22, Ohtani slashed .265/.364/.554 with a 146 wRC+, .918 OPS and .289 isolated power. Those numbers put him in the MVP conversation on their own, especially when you bank on him to hit 35-plus home runs with double-digit steals.

On the mound, Ohtani is only in the Cy Young Award race on an annual basis. He posted a 2.33 ERA with 219 strikeouts this past season, limiting opponents to a .202 batting average with a 33.2% strikeout rate. Across the last two seasons, he possesses the fifth-lowest ERA (2.70) and the fifth-highest strikeout rate (31.4%) among starters with 250-plus innings.

Finally, we arrive at Ohtani’s marketability and what he means for both MLB and his organization. Ohtani generates support from millions of baseball fans internationally, he is top-10 in jersey sales and the social media engagement he generates is like no other baseball player. All of that makes Ohtani No. 1 in our MLB free agency rankings.

2. Matt Chapman, third base, Toronto Blue Jays

Entering the 2023 season, Toronto Blue Jays’ third baseman didn’t crack our top-five list for the best MLB free agents in 2024. It was the direct result of two down years at the plate. Across nearly 1,300 plate appearances from 2021-’22, Chapman posted a .219/.319/.418 slash line with a 30 percent strikeout rate and just 148 RBI in 306 games. While he was still playing quality defense at third base, the regression at the plate and the dip from his Gold Glove standard at third base was a legitimate worry entering his contract year.

Now, Chapman is enjoying a career-best season. Through his first 29 games, Chapman slashed .374/.455/.654, lowering his strikeout rate to 22.8 percent (lowest since 2019) and posting the highest fWAR (209) in his career. He has not been great defensively at third base – 14th percentile Outs Above Average – but the MVP-caliber production in the batter’s box is adding tens of millions of dollars to his earning potential in free agency next winter.

3. Julio Urías, starting pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers southpaw Julio Urías has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball over the last two seasons. Despite being one of the shortest hurlers (6-foot) in the game, Urías has the third-best ERA (2.57), the sixth-lowest batting average allowed (.207) and the ninth-lowest walk rate (5.5%) over the last three seasons.

Related: MLB playoffs 2023

Just as important for teams as the track record is his age. Urías will be 27 years old when he hits the open market, just entering his prime. It puts him in a perfect position to land a six-year contract worth more than $35 million per season. As long as Urías stays healthy this summer, he will be one of the top MLB free agents in 2024.

4. Max Scherzer, New York Mets

Max Scherzer will have plenty of motivation to exercise his opt-out clause this winter. While he’s currently the highest-paid player in the sport, there will only be $43.333 million left on the table for Scherzer if he sticks to his contract.

Related: MLB awards predictions 2023

There are undeniable risks associated with signing a 39-year-old pitcher in free agency. It’s especially relevant because Scherzer threw just 145.1 innings in 2022 and hasn’t reached the 180-inning mark since 2018. With that said, anything within the ballpark of replicating his 2022 production (90th percentile chase rate, 30.6% K-rate, .204 BAA), could net Scherzer a two-year deal worth at least $45 million per season.

5. Aaron Nola, starting pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies

At his best, Aaron Nola is capable of pitching at a level that we’ve seen from the likes of Tom Seaver and Corbin Burnes (10 consecutive strikeouts in a game). The right-handed pitcher put everything back together in 2022 after struggling (4.63 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) through the 2021 campaign. While Nola’s fastball velocity is slowly dipping, he maintained a 12.6% Swinging Strike rate last season and held opponents to a .218 batting average. If the Phillies can’t sign him to an extension and he stays healthy, Nola could become one of the highest-paid pitchers in baseball.

Best MLB free agents 2023-’24: Pitching, outfielders headline free agency

6. Jung-hoo Lee, outfielder, Kiwoom Heroes

Jung-Hoo Lee is one of the most exciting MLB free agents in 2024. The reigning KBO MVP winner will be posted by the Kiwoon Heroes this winter and MLB teams have already been scouting him for over a year. Nicknamed the “Grandson of the Wind”, Lee is the best hitter in Korea and his eye at the plate (6.8% K rate, 11.4% walk rate) is impeccable. He’ll be an above-average defender in the corner outfield, could hit .300 in the majors and there is legitimate All-Star potential here.

7. Luis Severino, starting pitcher, New York Yankees

Where Luis Severino lands in 2024 will likely come down to what team is willing to take a risk. When he’s on the mound, the 6-foot-2 hurler can absolutely dominate (3.24 ERA, 10.31 K/9, .220 BAA since 2018). Unfortunately, Severino has eclipsed 100 innings just once in the last four years. A healthy 2023 campaign would push Severino into the top five, but even then risk is in mind.

8. Blake Snell, starting pitcher, San Diego Padres

No team signing Blake Snell in MLB free agency should expect him to ever repeat the Cy Young season he delivered in 2018. On the wrong side of 30, the 6-foot-4 southpaw hasn’t thrown 130 innings since 2018. In 2022, he struck out 32% of batters faced but walks (9.5% walk rate) and looked sharp after the All-Star Break. What will truly swing where Snell ranks among the top MLB free agents at the end of September is whether or not he improves the third time through a batting order (.301 BAA, 1.86 WHIP, 6.86 ERA).

9. Clayton Kershaw, starting pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers

Clayton Kershaw is seemingly defying Father Time. While persistent arm and back injuries have hampered him in recent seasons, Kershaw posted a 2.28 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 126.1 innings last year. He will only receive one-year contract offers if he enters MLB free agency next winter, but Kershaw keeps proving he’s a front-line starter just with an innings limit.

10. Josh Hader, closer, San Diego Padres

Josh Hader needed a strong season to boost his value heading into MLB free agency 2024. Through the early weeks of the season, he looks like one of the best closers in baseball once again. While Hader isn’t throwing his fastball as hard as he did in 2022 (96.1 mph vs 97.5 mph), he’s a better pitcher. Opponents are posting just a .082 batting average against Hader with a 0.67 WHIP and he’s recorded 11 saves in 15 innings. If this keeps up, Hader will become the highest-paid closer in MLB next year.

11. Amed Rosario, shortstop, Cleveland Guardians

Teams seeking quality infielders in MLB free agency are going to be disappointed in the winter. While there is an abundance of outfielders, it’s a bad time to need a middle infielder. Rosario isn’t a great option defensively at shortstop (2nd percentile Outs Above Average), but he’ll be 28 years old next season and a .282 batting average with double-digit home runs and a 101 wRC+ is perfectly acceptable for a middle infielder. Quite frankly, the lack of depth at the position could net Rosario an even larger contract than expected.

12. Rhys Hoskins, first base, Philadelphia Phillies

Rhys Hoskins’ production warrants consideration among the top MLB free agents in 2024. However, he’s a first baseman who doesn’t field the position well (4th percentile Outs Above Average). Whichever team signs the 30-year-old will be banking on 28-30 homers annually for the next three years, weighed down by below-average defense and declining value to analytically-motivated front offices.

Unfortunately for Hoskins, he never got the opportunity to improve hist value in free agency. THe Phillies’ first baseman suffered a torn ACL in spring training, sidelining him for the entire 2023 season. It will be interesting to see if Hoskins receives the qualifying offer next winter, which could provide him with an opportunity to replenish his value in 2024.

13. Teoscar Hernández, outfielder, Seattle Mariners

After entering the season ranked as one of the 10 best MLB free agents in 2024, the slow start from Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez pushes him down. In a contract year, Hernandez is slashing .223/.261/.423 with an alarming 34.1 percent strikeout rate through his first 33 games. Not only is he striking out at a 30-plus percent clip for the first time since 2020, but Hernandez’s walk rate is also at a career-low 2.2 percent (6.4 percent last season). If Hernandez can’t turn things around, a below-average outfielder defensively will really struggle to generate multi-year offers on the open market.

14. Joc Pederson, outfielder, San Francisco Giants

Joc Pederson remains with the San Francisco Giants for the 2023 season and he should come relatively close to replacing his numbers. The left-handed slugger packs plenty of power (five seasons with 20-plus homers), but he is a complete defensive liability in the outfield. Entering what would be his age-32 season, Pederson’s next contract will likely be his last major payday.

15. Lucas Giolito, starting pitcher, Chicago White Sox

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito certainly wishes he could’ve hit MLB free agency a few years ago. Things fell apart for the 6-foot-6 righty in 2022, with his ERA (3.53 to 4.9), batting average allowed (.218 to .270) and WHIP (1.1 to 1.44) all deteriorating. The 2023 season could offer him redemption, especially if he replicates his previous numbers (3.47 ERA from 2019-’21).

16. Hunter Renroe, outfielder, Los Angeles Angels

The past two seasons capture Hunter Renfroe perfectly. Now in his 30s, Renfroe has averaged 30 home runs with a .257 batting average and a strikeout rate hovering around 23 percent over the last three seasons. Teams might prefer him as a designated hitter, but Renfroe’s power bat and situational production (131 wRC+ with men on base) make him an appealing free agent.

17. Frankie Montas, starting pitcher, New York Yankees

How Frankie Montas looks upon returning from surgery on his right labrum will have a dramatic impact on his earning power in MLB free agency. On the surface, teams will love a 6-foot-2 righty who sported a 3.96 ERA with a .241 BAA and 25.3 percent strikeout rate in his last 375.1 innings. However, long-term concerns with his arm could push Montas into a one-year contract.

18. Jack Flaherty, starting pitcher, St. Louis Cardinals

If St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was eligible for MLB free agency a few years ago, he’s one of the best players available. Unfortunately, injuries and command issues have cast a shadow over his value and keep him outside the top 15 in our MLB free agent rankings. From 2020-’22, Flaherty recorded a 4.36 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and walked 3.7 batters per 9 innings. If that’s not concerning enough for teams, he’s also thrown just 154.2 innings in the last three years. It’s a significant decline from the emerging star we saw in 2019 – 2.75 ERA, 231 strikeouts – and Flaherty will need a bounce-back season to avoid requiring a prove-it deal in 2024.

19. Jordan Montgomery, starting pitcher, St. Louis Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery could significantly boost his contract earnings with a strong 2023 campaign. He posted a 3.11 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP after being traded mid-season to St. Louis. Backed by a strong defense and working with a great coaching staff, Montgomery could turn a career-best season into a huge payday.

20. Martin Pérez, starting pitcher, Texas Rangers

Martin Pérez came out of nowhere in 2022, compiling a 2.89 ERA and .239 batting average allowed over 196.1 innings. Before that, the veteran southpaw posted a 4.88 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 341.1 innings (2019-’21). If he repeats his success in 2022, Pérez could be much higher in our MLB free agency rankings. For now, the 32-year-old is projected for regression.

21. Harrison Bader, outfielder, New York Yankees

Dealt to the New York Yankees at the 2022 MLB trade deadline, outfielder Harrison Bader will be one of the best defensive players available in MLB free agency 2023-’24. He provides decent power and was an above-average hitter (111 wRC+) from 2020-’21. He might not land a huge contract, but Bader should field several quality offers from teams needing a center fielder.

22. Carlos Carrasco, starting pitcher, New York Mets

Assuming Carlos Carrasco wants to pitch in his age-34 season, there should be plenty of teams offering him one-year contracts. The 6-foot-4 righty owns a 3.97 FIP, 8.84 K/9 and 1.36 WHIP across 205.2 innings in the past two seasons. Durability issues likely push him to a back-end starter, but he can be extremely effective in that role.

Related: MLB rotation rankings 2023

23. Jesse Winker, outfielder, Milwaukee Brewers

Jesse Winker broke out in 2021, earning his first All-Star and slashing .305/.394/.556 with 24 home runs and a 147 wRC+. However, everything fell apart in 2022 (.219/.344/.344, 108 wRC+). A rebound season in 2023 can help Winker regain some ground in the MLB free agency rankings, but he is primary a designated hitter with some flaws at the plate.

24. Eduardo Rodriguez, starting pitcher, Detroit Tigers

After signing a five-year, $77 million contract with the Detroit Tigers, Eduardo Rodriguez has a decision to make next offseason. While he isn’t coming off a great season, it’s reasonable to think he could earn more than $49 over three years by testing MLB free agency again this winter.

Related: 2023 MLB mock draft

25. Garrett Cooper, first baseman, Miami Marlins

Garrett Cooper will be one of the relative unknowns among the MLB free agents in 2023-’24, but there will be several suitors. He’ll be entering his age-33 season in 2024, but the 6-foot-5 slugger posted a .261/.337/.415 slash line with 50 RBIs and a 115 wRC+ in 2022. With a .795 OPS over his last three seasons, Cooper is a viable hitter in the bottom half of a batting order.
