The 2022 Free Agent Tracker Is Here!

Our 2022 Free Agent Tracker is now live! There are currently around 200 players on the list; more will be added during the weeks following the postseason as decisions are made on 2022 options and teams continue to clear space on their 40-man rosters. The tracker will also be regularly updated throughout the offseason as qualifying offers are made, accepted, and rejected, and free agents find their new homes.

You can filter by status (signed/unsigned), previous team, and signing team, and export the data for your own analysis. You can also currently sort by a player’s handedness, age, and 2021 WAR. Shortly after the postseason ends, projected 2022 WAR will be available, as well will the results of our annual contract crowdsourcing project, which include median contract total, years, and average annual value.

Players with options are not included in the list. Typically, options do not have to be exercised or declined until five days after the World Series ends. As players have their options declined, they will be added to the tracker. Some of the more notable players with at least a decent chance of having their options declined are Avisaíl García, Andrew McCutchen, Buster Posey, and Kyle Seager. For a second consecutive offseason, both Nick Castellanos and J.D. Martinez will have the opportunity to become free agents by opting out of their current deals. Castellanos is very likely to return to the free agent market.

The Tracker can always be found in the RosterResource section of the site drop-down menu or within the tabs above any RosterResource content.

As always, we appreciate your feedback. If there are features you’d like to suggest for future versions of the tracker, feel free to drop them in the comments here!

Not sure if this is a comment for the tracker, but it would be great if the predictions of the participants in the crowd sourcing were individually preserved so they could monitor how they did. I realize that would require adding some storage infrastructure in some fashion, but it would really be interesting for participants and would probably improve the accuracy of the crowd sourcing. Better yet, turn it into a tracked contest and give away a T-shirt or a trophy or something to the winner.
