Free Agents


So far this off-season there as been some free agents signed to new teams. Yoenis Cespedes was a hot free agent out there that had signed back with the Mets for 3 years $75 million dollar contract. It was a good move for the Mets since he was a big key to the team. With Starlin Castro moving to the Yankees the Cubs have signed Short Stop (SS) Munenori Kawasaki to the ball club. Alexiei Ramirez, a long time White Sox found a new home in San Diego with a 1 year contract with them. Another free agent signing from the Detroit Tigers is OF Justin Upton. Will see if that helps them improve from the past years being an under .500 ball club. The Arizona Diamondbacks picked up a strong Starting Pitcher (SP) from the Dodgers, Zack Greinke for 6 years at $206 million. This should help get Arizona back into contention soon. Miami Marlins made a smart decision for extending Dee Gordon for 5 years $50 million. Alex Gordon was a big free agent out there wondering if he was going to a new team. Gordon (OF) has resigned with the Royals to hopefully defend their title this season.  There is still a lot of free agents out there still needing to be signed and in 23 days all pitchers and catchers meet up. Spring training is right around the corner which means baseball season can’t come soon enough. Let’s see if these players can help their franchise win them a title this year and to stop the red hot Royals and having two great records and reaching the World Series back to back years.
