Elite FA CC Sabathia- Icon SMI

Here is a list of this winter's Major League Baseball free agents. Minor League Baseball free agents and signees are excluded as well as spring training invitees. In addition, any non-tendered FA's released late are not included such as Taveras or Wigginton. The top free agents are listed based on their hitter or pitcher fantasy rankings. The values between pitchers and hitters do not reflect actual fantasy value in comparing two categories. In general, DobberBaseball feels hitters are generally more valuable than pitchers due to consistency and health. Unranked players are only in team order.

The plan is to have these rankings updated daily as players sign with their new teams... so stay tuned.

Some rankings have changed since original establishment.
