The World Series may be over but the baseball calendar marches on.
While the Houston Astros are still reveling in their 4-2 series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, players and teams are already plotting how to take them down next season.
As the hot stove starts to heat up, the Los Angeles Dodgers are already the odds-on favorites to win the 2023 World Series, but there’s much to be decided before then—like which team is going to sign megastar Aaron Judge (update: the Yankees, of course) after one of the best contract-year performances in sports history.
But the pursuit of Judge is just one aspect of this winter’s star-studded free agent class.
As players continue opting out of their contracts and hitting the open market, we’ll continue updating the list below. You can also find updated World Series odds here as players begin to sign and lines continue to move.
