Contract Crowdsourcing 2023-24: Ballot 5 of 11

Yukihito Taguchi-USA TODAY Sports

Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent seasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating a contract crowdsourcing project, with the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowd to better understand and project the 2023-24 free agent market.

In recent years, we’ve added a few features to these ballots based on reader feedback. You now have the option to indicate that a player will only receive a minor-league contract, or won’t receive one at all. If there is a player option, team option, or opt out in a player’s contract, you’ll be able to indicate whether you think he will remain with his current team or become a free agent.

Below are ballots for four of this year’s free agents — in this case, an exciting group of player who have previously played in NPB and the KBO.

It looks like the second ZIPS projected ERA value is ERA+, and the “+” somehow got left off.
