2013 MLB Free Agent Tracker

By Tim Dierkes | October 31, 2012 at 7:50pm CDT

MLBTR's 2013 MLB Free Agent Tracker is now available.  The tracker allows you to filter free agents by many criteria: team, position, signing status, years, and dollars.  Also, we will be replacing the Type A/B filter with a qualifying offer one shortly.  For the most part, our cutoff for a player's inclusion on the tracker is 50 MLB plate appearances or 20 innings pitched in 2012.

We also have a basic list that shows which free agents remain available at each position, found here.

Which Players Will Receive Qualifying Offers?

By Tim Dierkes | October 30, 2012 at 8:30pm CDT

This is the first offseason with qualifying offers for free agents, rather than the Elias ranking system and "offering arbitration" to free agents.  Teams have the opportunity to make qualifying offers of $13.3MM to their free agents by Friday at 5pm eastern time, assuming the player was with the team the entire season.  If offered, players must decide whether to accept by November 9th at 5pm eastern time.  Similar to the old system, accepting makes you a signed player for 2013, and declining puts you on the open market with a draft pick cost attached.  Ben Nicholson-Smith explained qualifying offers in further detail in this May article.

The risk of making a qualifying offer is that the player might accept, so we won't see them made to players who are worth nowhere near $13.3MM.  The benefit of offering is that the player may turn it down and sign elsewhere, giving his old team a supplemental draft pick at the end of the first round.  It is possible to decline a club option and then make a qualifying offer.  By my estimation, about a dozen players stand a reasonable chance of receiving a qualifying offer on Friday:

  • Josh Hamilton: The Rangers will certainly offer, and Hamilton will definitely turn it down in search of a multiyear deal at a higher salary.
  • Mike Napoli: This is a borderline case.  My guess is that the Rangers do not offer, as Napoli would have a solid chance of accepting the $13.3MM salary and they may not want to allocate that amount of money to him for 2013.
  • Michael Bourn:  I expect the Braves to make Bourn a qualifying offer, as he's likely expecting a multiyear deal somewhere.
  • B.J. Upton: The Rays will probably make the offer, as Upton also expects a much bigger contract.  If he were to accept for some reason, he'd be tradeable.
  • Nick Swisher: Another easy one: the Yankees will offer, and Swisher will decline in search of a multiyear deal.
  • Edwin Jackson:  This case probably gives the Nationals pause, as $13.3MM is a bit steep for Jackson.  Still, they had good results for $11MM in 2012 and are likely to take the risk of the 21% raise.  I imagine Jackson is all about a multiyear deal this time, anyway.
  • Adam LaRoche: The Nationals want LaRoche back and are likely to make a qualifying offer.
  • Dan Haren: This is a tricky one for the Angels.  They can buy out Haren's $15.5MM option for $3.5MM; doing so indicates they don't value him at $12MM for one year.  To make a qualifying offer after paying the buyout is a risk they probably would not take.  The Halos could exercise Haren's option and then trade him, kicking in the $3.5MM they would have had to pay anyway and getting some kind of useful player in return.
  • Hiroki Kuroda: Similar to Jackson, $13.3MM would feel a little steep for Kuroda but the Yankees will probably do it.
  • Kyle Lohse: Lohse is a good bet to receive a qualifying offer from the Cardinals.
  • Angel Pagan: Pagan is 31 and this is his best shot at a big multiyear deal.  I expect the Giants to offer and Pagan to decline, though they could just work out a new contract.
  • David Ortiz: The Red Sox might as well make the offer, as it gives them leverage and Ortiz clearly wants multiple years.  I doubt he'd like a one-year deal at a pay cut or hitting the open market with a draft pick cost.
  • Rafael Soriano: He's expected to choose a $1.5MM buyout over a $14MM salary for 2013.  At that point the Yankees are rumored likely to make a qualifying offer.  Soriano could accept and come out $800K ahead overall, or he could decline and look for multiple years despite the draft pick cost.
  • Torii Hunter: I don't think the Angels would take the risk.

Non-Tender Candidates

By Tim Dierkes | October 29, 2012 at 4:10pm CDT

By my count, 213 players are currently arbitration eligible.  More than 70 of those can be considered non-tender candidates.  The deadline for teams to decide is November 30th.  Non-tendering a player makes him a free agent.  Below is my subjective list of non-tender candidates.  Please note that not all of them will actually be non-tendered.  Click here for MLBTR's projected salaries for these players, if they are tendered contracts.

137 Players Become Free Agents

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | October 29, 2012 at 10:00am CDT

137 players became free agents today, the MLB Players Association announced. Josh Hamilton, Zack Greinke and Michael Bourn are among the most prominent free agents of the year.

Teams have exclusive negotiating rights with their own free agents for five days following the completion of the World Series. Free agents can negotiate with all teams beginning at 12:01am EDT this Saturday, November 3rd.

You can view MLBTR's complete list of free agents here. Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com has the full MLBPA list of free agents. Be sure to check in this week for MLBTR's upcoming list of top 50 free agents and annual prediction contest.

Top Offseason Storylines For 2012-13

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | October 29, 2012 at 7:36am CDT

Blockbuster trades, nine-figure free agent contracts and shrewd minor league signings will all be completed in the coming months, as MLB executives attempt to mold their rosters into World Series contenders. There are inevitably hundreds of rumors and deals to track, but rest assured that MLBTradeRumors.com will have constant updates before, during and after the biggest moves. Here’s a look ahead at ten of the offseason's biggest storylines…

1. Who will pay Josh Hamilton?

There’s no doubt Hamilton could make any team better. Yet so many questions surround the 31-year-old as he hits free agency for the first time. Can he sustain this level of production without landing on the disabled list? Might his poor plate discipline become a serious problem? Should teams worry about his past addiction issues? The Rangers are best-equipped to answer these questions, so other teams figure to monitor Texas’ bidding closely.

Hamilton has a case for a long-term deal worth considerably more than $100MM given his on-field production. Plus, team owners might expect him to generate fan interest and boost TV ratings.

2. Could Alex Rodriguez be traded?

General manager Brian Cashman has acknowledged that the Yankees don't consider Rodriguez a superstar caliber player anymore. Now 37 years old, Rodriguez doesn't resemble his former self. The Yankees know it, and so do the 29 other teams. Trading the three-time MVP will presumably be extremely difficult unless the Yankees absorb most of the $114MM remaining on his contract. That’d be unappealing for New York executives, especially at a time that the trade and free agent market for third basemen looks thin. Like it or not, it seems probable that Rodriguez will return to the Bronx for another year.

3. Who will win the bidding for Zack Greinke?

Greinke, the year’s top free agent starter, could draw interest from both Los Angeles teams. The Angels, who acquired the 29-year-old midseason, have interest in re-signing him. The Dodgers, now flush with cash after an ownership change, could also make an offer. Many other clubs will check in on Greinke, who could obtain the largest contract ever for a right-handed pitcher.

4. Will the Dodgers keep spending?

The Dodgers have made hundreds of millions in future payroll commitments since new ownership gained control of the team this spring. Expect a busy offseason now that they can finally bid on free agents. The Dodgers could pursue free agent starting pitchers such as Greinke, Jake Peavy and Hiroki Kuroda.

5. Will the Mets extend David Wright and R.A. Dickey?

There’s no guarantee Wright and Dickey will be playing for the Mets beyond 2013. Both players will hit free agency a year from now if they haven’t signed contract extensions. It’s difficult to imagine that ownership could convince Wright to stay without offering considerably more than $100MM. Determining Dickey's value is more difficult considering his rapid ascent from journeyman knuckleballer to Cy Young candidate.

6. Will the Rays trade pitching?

The Rays have enviable starting pitching depth and clear needs on offense, so they’ll exchange starters for hitters this offseason, right? Not necessarily. Executive VP Andrew Friedman has said the Rays might keep their starting pitching. 

David Price's salary continues rising, so it's time for the small-market Rays to consider a trade. He’s still three seasons away from free agency, which means there’s no rush to complete a deal. But at a time that Price’s salary could rise to the $10MM range through arbitration, Friedman will have to explore the possibility of dealing the left-hander.

7. Will the Indians trade Chris Perez and Shin-Soo Choo?

It could be time for the Indians to trade two of their most prominent players. Perez, the All-Star closer who publicly criticized ownership toward the end of the regular season, might never have more trade value. His salary projects to rise to the $7MM range this winter, not that that would be an obstacle for large market teams.

Choo will hit free agency a year from now, which means Cleveland GM Chris Antonetti has two chances to make a trade: this winter and at next summer’s trade deadline. It’d make sense for the Indians to trade Choo for a controllable, young player if possible, as a contract extension seems unlikely.

8. Will the new collective bargaining agreement make a difference?

Players, agents and team executives won’t have to overhaul the way they do business this winter, the first full offseason under baseball’s new collective bargaining agreement. Free agents will be able to sign generous long-term contracts just as easily as before. In fact, the elimination of the Elias rankings system will be a welcome change for the middle relievers and role players who will no longer be linked to draft pick compensation. However, baseball’s luxury tax will continue to create a deterrent for large market teams who might otherwise spend more aggressively. The Yankees, for example, say they aim to avoid the tax by 2014, which means they’re not expected to be bidding quite as aggressively as in years past.

9. What’s next for Melky Cabrera? 

Cabrera's free agent value plummeted once he received a 50-game suspension for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone. But he could be an intriguing buy-low option for teams seeking an impact bat. He has put together consecutive All-Star caliber seasons and at 28, he's still in his prime. However, he’s hitting free agency at the same time as many other All-Star outfielders. There’s lots of competition with Hamilton, Michael Bourn, B.J. Upton, Nick Swisher, Angel Pagan and Shane Victorino also seeking new contracts. Still, many teams will have interest in signing Cabrera for one year and a multiyear contract can’t be ruled out.

10. Where do the Red Sox go from here?

Replacing Bobby Valentine with John Farrell should be a positive development for the Red Sox, but they’ve still got lots of work ahead following their first 90-loss season since 1966. They'll need to obtain more starting pitching depth and add to their outfield. Plus, rival general managers will be interested to see if the Red Sox hold onto Jacoby Ellsbury or trade him with one year to go before free agency.

Quick Hits: Fujinami, Antonetti, Giants, Guillen

By Mike Axisa | October 24, 2012 at 9:42pm CDT

In a subscriber-only piece, Baseball America's Ben Badler wrote about Japanese right-hander Shintaro Fujinami, who may be the country's best high school player. Fellow right-hander Shohei Otani has garnered most of the recent attention, but Badler says talent evaluators are split. It's unclear if Fujinami will try to join an MLB team in the near future, however. Here's the latest from around the league…

  • Indians president Mark Shapiro sat down for a long and in-depth interview with Pat McManamon of FOX Sports.com. He spoke about the club's economic situation, the CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee trades, and a host of other topics.
  • John Shea of The San Francisco Chronicle says the Giants have found a developmental balance between homegrown pitchers and homegrown hitters. Buster Posey is the only position player from the 2010 World Series club who is still starting for the Giants.
  • Ozzie Guillen would like to continue managing somewhere according to his former catcher A.J. Pierzynski, reports ESPN Chicago. Pierzynski said Guillen "wants to work again" during a recent radio interview. The Marlins fired Guillen yesterday.

Baseball’s Longest-Tenured GMs

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | October 15, 2012 at 3:12pm CDT

It’s been an unusually quiet offseason for general manager turnover — so far. The Rockies re-structured their baseball operations department, the Marlins are mulling changes, and the White Sox are expected to promote two top executives. Otherwise, it’s been relatively slow, with no dismissals midway through a month that’s often filled with GM turnover.

Using Baseball America's executive database I’ve compiled a list of baseball’s longest-tenured general managers. The list shows how long GMs have been with their current teams, not when they got their first gig running a team. That list would look different, with Dave Dombrowski, Sandy Alderson and Dan Duquette at the top (I'm using the term 'GM' loosely; some of the executives below have different titles on their business cards). 

The Bay Area has two of the sport’s three longest-tenured GMs in Brian Sabean and Billy Beane. There's been lots of turnover in the past five years, as nearly half (14) of baseball's GMs were hired in that time. Here's the complete list:

  1. Terry Ryan, Twins, 1994 (stepped aside from 2007-11)
  2. Brian Sabean, Giants, 1996
  3. Billy Beane, Athletics, 1997
  4. Brian Cashman, Yankees, 1998
  5. Dan O'Dowd, Rockies, 1999 (Bill Geivett assumes many GM duties as Sr. VP of Major League operations)
  6. Kenny Williams, White Sox, 2000 (expected to be promoted, replaced by Rick Hahn)
  7. Larry Beinfest, Marlins, 2002
  8. Dave Dombrowski, Tigers, 2002
  9. Doug Melvin, Brewers, 2002
  10. Jon Daniels, Rangers, 2005
  11. Andrew Friedman, Rays, 2005
  12. Ned Colletti, Dodgers, 2005
  13. Dayton Moore, Royals, 2006
  14. Neal Huntington, Pirates, 2007
  15. Frank Wren, Braves, 2007
  16. John Mozeliak, Cardinals, 2007
  17. Walt Jocketty, Reds, 2008
  18. Jack Zduriencik, Mariners, 2008
  19. Ruben Amaro, Jr., Phillies, 2008
  20. Mike Rizzo, Nationals, 2009
  21. Alex Anthopoulos, Blue Jays, 2009
  22. Kevin Towers, Diamondbacks, 2010
  23. Chris Antonetti, Indians, 2010
  24. Sandy Alderson, Mets, 2010
  25. Jed Hoyer, Cubs, 2011
  26. Josh Byrnes, Padres, 2011
  27. Jerry Dipoto, Angels, 2011
  28. Jeff Luhnow, Astros, 2011
  29. Ben Cherington, Red Sox, 2011
  30. Dan Duquette, Orioles, 2011

Check out MLBTR's 2010 series on the reaction each GM generated upon taking his first GM job: AL East, AL Central, AL West, NL East, NL Central, NL West.
