CLEVELAND, Ohio — This is the time of year when baseball’s free agent spigot is free flowing. On Friday, with teams protecting their 40-man rosters because of the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 10, 66 more players hit the open market.

These players were pushed into the free-agent pool because their teams didn’t offer them contracts for 2026. The infusion of talent means there are an estimated 240 big-league free agents on the market.

The thing that makes this latest wave of free agents attractive to the Guardians, who are careful with a buck, is that some of them are within their price range.

Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber and Dylan Cease are not in this grouping.
