Although Spring Training is rapidly approaching, there¡¯s still a lot of offseason business left to sort out before pitchers and catchers report.

While Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki has made his decision, opting to join the Dodgers, many other marquee free agents remain in limbo.

With this in mind, we¡¯ve decided to play matchmaker and help find homes for some of the top free agents left on the board. Using each team only once, here are the best fits for 10 notable players who remain unsigned.

Alex Bregman, 3B
Best fit: Tigers

It might seem like the Tigers¡¯ window of contention is just opening after the club made a surprising run to the playoffs in 2024. But with reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal under team control for only two more seasons, Detroit cannot afford to be complacent. Although the Tigers did sign second baseman Gleyber Torres to a one-year deal, they need to do more to improve a lineup that tied for 19th in the Majors in runs scored last season. Even looking beyond his previous connection with Detroit manager A.J. Hinch from their time together in Houston, Bregman is a logical fit for a Tigers team with an unsettled hot-corner situation and the payroll flexibility to make a big splash.

Pete Alonso, 1B
Best fit: Mets

By virtue of their record-setting deal with Juan Soto, the Mets have already secured a place among this offseason¡¯s big winners. However, as New York looks to solidify its standing among the top contenders in a stacked National League, the club¡¯s lineup is arguably still a big bat short, with one obvious hole to fill: first base, the spot Alonso has held in Flushing since his debut in 2019. As a result, we aren¡¯t ruling out the Mets as a destination for the slugger, even with Thursday's reports that the team has pivoted to other options after negotiations with Alonso fell apart.

Anthony Santander, OF
Best fit: Blue Jays

The Blue Jays have emerged as a strong contender for Alonso, but the switch-hitting Santander -- another free agent to whom they've been linked -- is arguably a better fit for their righty-heavy lineup. In 2024, Toronto tied for 26th in homers (50) and 24th in wRC+ (93) produced by left-handed batters. Santander, who hit 32 of his 44 homers from the left side of the plate while posting a 132 wRC+, could help address those shortcomings. As a corner outfielder, he¡¯d also give Toronto more roster flexibility than Alonso, who would likely be relegated to full-time DH duty due to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.¡¯s presence at first base. (That is, assuming the Blue Jays don't intend to move Guerrero back to his original position of third base.)

Jack Flaherty, SP
Best fit: Braves

For a team with championship aspirations, the Braves¡¯ rotation has a ton of question marks following the free-agent departures of Max Fried and Charlie Morton. If reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale and 2024 All-Star Reynaldo López can replicate last year¡¯s surprising success, Spencer Schwellenbach can build on his strong rookie season and Spencer Strider can make a healthy return from right elbow surgery at some point in the first half, Atlanta could have one of the best starting staffs in the game. But those are some big ifs. Signing the best starter remaining on the free-agent market would allay those concerns and quell some of the criticism surrounding Atlanta¡¯s quiet offseason, during which the team has subtracted a number of notable players while only adding outfielder Bryan De La Cruz. The Braves don¡¯t typically pursue expensive free-agent starters, but Flaherty¡¯s reported willingness to consider a short-term deal with a high average annual value could make him a financial fit for Atlanta.

Ha-Seong Kim, INF
Best fit: Giants

Despite the additions of Willy Adames and Justin Verlander, the Giants are still lagging behind the powerhouses in the NL. Kim, whose former KBO teammate Jung Hoo Lee joined the Giants last offseason, wouldn¡¯t change that, but he would address a projected weakness at second base and potentially make San Francisco a more formidable threat in the NL Wild Card race once he's healthy enough to return from right shoulder surgery. The Giants currently have Tyler Fitzgerald penciled in at the keystone, but they need to be realistic with their expectations for the 27-year-old. Although he finished his 2024 rookie season with 15 homers and a 132 wRC+ over 341 plate appearances, there are reasons to be skeptical about Fitzgerald moving forward. After all, he produced just one homer and a .592 OPS over his final 36 games last season, and Steamer -- one of the most trusted projection systems -- expects him to be a below-average hitter (93 wRC+) in 2025.

Carlos Estévez, RP
Best fit: Cubs

The Cubs have tried filling out their relief corps with inexperienced youngsters and veteran stopgaps in recent years, but that strategy hasn¡¯t yielded much success. Chicago¡¯s late-inning crew was particularly unreliable in 2024, in part because expected closer Adbert Alzolay missed most of the season due to injury and free-agent addition Héctor Neris struggled. The Cubs had 12 losses in games they were leading at the end of the seventh inning -- tied for the second most in MLB -- which is one of the reasons they underperformed their expected record (88-74) by five wins. Chicago was in the mix for the top closer on the free-agent market, Tanner Scott, but it will need to turn elsewhere after the lefty reached a four-year, $72 million deal with the Dodgers on Sunday (per a source). Est¨¦vez, who recorded 26 saves with a career-best 2.45 ERA and 4.17 K/BB in 2024, makes sense as a potential target.

Max Scherzer, SP
Best fit: Nationals

At this stage of his career, Scherzer might prefer to join a ready-made contender. However, it's not easy to find a team in that category that still needs rotation help and seems likely to pay the going rate -- probably somewhere in the neighborhood of Justin Verlander¡¯s one-year, $15 million deal with the Giants -- to sign a 40-year-old coming off an injury-plagued season. Given these circumstances, a reunion with the Nats makes sense for the three-time Cy Young Award winner. The seven-year, $210 million deal Scherzer inked with Washington prior to the 2015 season proved to be one of the best big-money signings in the history of free agency, though his tenure came to an abrupt end when he was traded to the Dodgers alongside Trea Turner prior to the 2021 Trade Deadline, as Washington kicked off its rebuild with a flurry of deals. The club is back on the way up now, but lacks proven arms at the top of its rotation. Scherzer could be a valuable addition in more ways than one, bolstering the Nationals¡¯ staff and helping to mentor their young starters.

Jurickson Profar, OF
Best fit: Padres

In Profar¡¯s case, the incumbent is clearly the best option. The outfielder has played for four teams in his career and he¡¯s recorded a 91 OPS+ or lower for three of them. In parts of five seasons for the Padres? A 113 OPS+, including a personal-best 134 OPS+ with 24 homers and 85 RBIs in his surprising 2024 breakout season. Profar is clearly comfortable in San Diego. The Padres, meanwhile, haven¡¯t made a single notable addition this offseason and are currently projected to have the worst left-field situation in all of baseball, but they can address that by bringing back Profar.

Nick Pivetta, SP
Best fit: Angels

Pivetta¡¯s market has been complicated by a variety of factors, chief among them the Draft-pick compensation attached to him after he turned down the Red Sox¡¯s one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer. Although the right-hander has shown intriguing upside, the list of teams willing to give him a multiyear contract and forfeit one or more Draft picks to sign a pitcher who has never posted a sub-4.00 ERA in his eight-year career is likely short. We¡¯ll go with the Angels, who have added Yusei Kikuchi and Kyle Hendricks in free agency this offseason but are still projected to have a bottom-10 rotation. As a team that was neither a Competitive Balance Tax payor nor a revenue-sharing recipient in 2024, the Halos would need to forfeit their second-highest pick in this year¡¯s Draft (No. 46) and $500,000 from their international bonus pool to sign Pivetta, which isn't overly steep.

Kirby Yates, RP
Best fit: Reds

Four of the top seven Reds pitchers from 2024 in terms of appearances are no longer with the organization, while the eighth -- Nick Martinez -- could be part of the team¡¯s rotation this season. In other words, Cincinnati¡¯s relief corps needs a lot of work. Signing Yates would not only add an established reliever to Cincinnati¡¯s bullpen but also provide some ninth-inning insurance in case incumbent closer Alexis Díaz isn¡¯t able to rebound from his rocky 2024 season. Yates was one of baseball's most dominant relievers in 2024, posting a 1.17 ERA with 33 saves and a 12.4 K/9 for the Rangers.
