Despite the flurry of activity in the free agent market this offseason, there are several viable players who are still looking for jobs as we enter 2023.
Pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in a month, but there are still a few key players who could be of use to MLB teams looking to fill some needs.
Veteran outfielder and designated hitter Andrew McCutchen is one of the top remaining free agents.
The 36-year-old spent the 2022 season with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The slugger had a 1.1 WAR and hit 17 home runs while hitting for an average of .237.
On Twitter, MLB Trade Rumors made a post highlighting him as one of the top free agents still left unsigned.

McCutchen has spent the vast majority of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After nine seasons in the Steel City, the veteran slugger made brief stops with the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees.
He also spent three seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies.
For his career, McCutchen owns a 47.0 WAR and has hit a total of 287 home runs, with a lifetime average of .277.
There are several teams who could benefit from the veteran outfielder’s services in 2023.
Perhaps the Brewers could bring him back as a DH option.
The Giants and the New York Mets could use him as well as they search for offense.
McCutchen could be a perfect fit in New York if the Carlos Correa deal falls through, just as it did with the Giants.
The 36-year-old could be one of the more underrated free agents still left unsigned.
