4,344 people entered into our 2024-25 MLB Free Agent Prediction Contest, and only one was able to manage a batting average over .230. Congratulations to Allan Cameron, who correctly predicted the destinations of 13 out of 48 free agents for a robust .271 average! No one else topped 11. Allan was correct on Juan Soto, Willy Adames, Pete Alonso, Jack Flaherty, Anthony Santander, Sean Manaea, Teoscar Hernandez, Christian Walker, Nathan Eovaldi, Andrew Heaney, Michael Soroka, Shane Bieber, and Shinnosuke Ogasawara.
For his excellent prognostication skills, Allan will receive $500 plus a free one-year subscription to Trade Rumors Front Office. The top three won cash prizes, and the top 15 received the Front Office subscription. All winners have been notified via email. As per our rules, David Robertson and Spencer Turnbull were excluded from contestants’ batting averages, as those two pitchers were unsigned as of Opening Day.
Congratulations to Allan. Look out for the 2025-26 MLB Free Agent Prediction Contest this November!
congratulations Allen! and well, we all suck at predicting
well done and congratulations Allan! 👏👏👏
Allan is my nom de plume, woot woot go me! Just kidding.
Seems like Baseball Brian is Diane Chambers’ nom de plume ;O)
Congrats Allen!
Good job to all
A .271 average will get you millions in the MLB. Congrats.
Well done Allan!
Surprised that Robertson and Turnbull still remain unsigned.
Nice, congrats! — interesting that 6 of his correct guesses had players returning to the teams they entered free agency with (or, in Flaherty’s case in DET, returning to a former team he last signed a contract with).
A lot of my correct guesses came that way.
Where do we see how we did? I think I got 3 right.
You can track all entries via the link in the original posts. I got 5 early and was looking great but never another one!
How do I find the original post? It is frustrating Tim didn’t just put the link in.
I finished with 7 correct.
That’s still pretty good.

Congratulations Alan you did great
So I guess my plan of guessing the White Sox would sign everyone backfired, huh?
I got top 50 which I’m extremely happy about. Congrats to the winners!
Way to go Allan.
Allen must be from the future. Maybe he’s in possession of Grey’s Sports Almenac for free agents 2025-2075
Biff Tannen has entered the chat!
lol I can give you future lotto winning numbers if you need
Give me the Denver lottery numbers. Nevada doesn’t have a lottery. Appreciate it.
I got 8, i’m happy with that. Few shoe ins, but still tricky
I got 9, but I’d say half were easy selections-Soto, Alonso, Santander, Martinez (QO). In fact, I got 8 of the top 13 FAs, as ranked by MLB-R, and only 1 of the remaining 35.
Or, from a different perspective, if you did nothing but pick the Dodgers, you’d still wind up with 6 right.
Good job Joe. I got 7, which is the most I’ve ever picked by a long shot. Must be from all the easy ones going back to their old teams.
I pulled a Ryan Kreidler and batted .125. Congrats Allan!
Ryan Kreidler dreams of hitting .125! Go, Miggywrld!
He got 13 and one of them wasn’t Nick Martinez, who if I remember correctly accepted the QO before the contest closed. Impressive. Much better than my 3/48, which included the freebie
I had 8 correct and I thought that was pretty good. Allen is the man!
Congratulations Allan!!
Congrats, Allan! Good job! I had my best year at 8.
Excellent prognosticating Mr. Cameron!
Thank you for running this!
Congrats to Allen Cameron on a job well done! I sat out this year’s contest as I don’t recall getting more than 5 picks right in any of the years I’ve participated, so had to stop torturing myself!
Thanks for the congratulations everyone! I’d like to say it was extreme baseball knowledge that led to this but it was definitely pure luck lol
Here’s hoping the tigers follow suit and win this year 🤞
Shows us how challenging this is despite a community full of MLB enthusiasts no one did better than .271.
The wily adames was a surprise to me
Can we see a Data breakdown ? How many people were correct about Bergman
Anybody go ZERO for 48 ??
My question is why didn’t all of the tied for 14th win a prize? It was only for 1 yr of free subscription! This kind of being cheap and non-fan friendly makes it harder to want to pay again!
Is Allan secretly an AI with a crystal ball?
