MLB Trade Rumors Free Agent Prediction Contest

By Tim Dierkes | November 23, 2016 at 8:35pm CDT

Only a few hours remain in the MLB Trade Rumors Free Agent Prediction Contest!  Click here to log in with Google or Facebook and predict which team you think each of the remaining top 50 free agents will sign with.  For each player, you can select one of the 30 MLB teams, as well as Retirement, Korea, or Japan.  Be sure to use the “Save Picks” button at the bottom each time you make a change.  Make sure you have something chosen for all 50 players by midnight central time tonight.  Finish your picks now!

This year, we rebuilt the contest to allow people to log in with Google or Facebook.  We’re doing two things with your information: saving your picks, and displaying your name on the contest leaderboard (which is still in progress).

Other contest notes:

  • Players in the contest who have already signed are considered freebies, although you still need to go in and make the correct pick.
  • The leaderboard will rank contestants by “batting average” on correct picks.  The leaderboard will show full names of contestants.
  • Ties in batting average will be decided by totaling the ranking number of each correctly-guessed free agent and taking the lowest total, rewarding contestants for being right on better free agents.  If people are still tied after that method is applied, prizes will be distributed at MLBTR’s discretion by choosing among tied contestants randomly.
  • Prizes are a work in progress, but I do intend to give something out for the top finishers.
  • If you experience a technical issue, please use our contact form.

    An idea for future years. Make it so you can make groups so friends can compete against each other and keep an eye on the standings.

    It may be more work than it’s worth. But if not, I think it’d be a cool feature.

      Yes! For example I was thinking this would be a terrific outside-the-box way to determine the draft order in our fantasy league (which we’ve struggled with), based on results of this contest.

      I hit retirement for two of them. Won’t say which. Every year there are a couple guys who just can’t get a job. David Eckstein is a guy that immediately comes to mind from several years ago. I don’t think he wanted to retire but nobody wanted him although he was still a decent player.

      Retirement for Rasmus. He’s been contemplating retiring for a few years now and he only continued to play because he was playing close to home. Now that the Astros have no room for him I think he retires.

    So are josh reddick, Jeremy hellickson, and Kendrys morales not considered top 50 free agents? I mean morales doesn’t play defense really and reddick has show a little bit of age over the years but I’d take them over a handful of guys on the list easy.
