Free Agency Preview By Team: Contract Options, QO Decisions

The Milwaukee Brewers claimed their rightful place atop the mountain of Major League Baseball last night, winning their first World Series in franchise history. For the Tampa Bay Rays, they once again came up short, marking their third second-place finish since 2000.

While the Brewers and Rays would love to take a moment to reflect, the baseball world moves on, and 28 teams just got sent back into action as the offseason begins today, and free agency is right around the corner.

Over the next five days, players and clubs have to make decisions on their contract options; qualifying offers must be tendered to the top free agents, and teams get an exclusive window to negotiate with their free agents before the free-for-all begins in earnest on November 2nd at 5:00 p.m.

To get you ready for the free agent window ahead, we have broken up this year’s class by team.

Below you will find a rundown of every team’s free agents, with contract options listed. We have even marked which players should soon get a qualifying offer.

Players are grouped by position and ranked by their FanGraphs WAR total across 2025-26. Each player’s 2027 seasonal age is included in parentheses next to his name.
