My Top 50 Free Agent Predictions
MLBTradeRumors.com made does a yearly article where they list out what they think are the top 50 free agents, and they even give contract and team predictions. Along with that, they create Google Form where YOU can predict where the top 50 free agents will go. Unfortunately, the contest has already entered, but here is the article if you want to see more information. This year, (as well as last year) I entered into the contest. Last year, I got 6 picks correct, and I came in…855th place. The winner was Allan Cameron with 13 picks correct. Here’s the leaderboard from last year if you wanted to see. I’ll update this post once they publish the leaderboard for this year. But this year, I really wanted to improve on last year’s showing. So without further ado, here are my top 50 free agent picks.
