MLB Free Agency: The Game

by
November 13, 2018

It is that time of year where there is nothing going on but speculation. As we wait for players to sign and teams to trade, the days go by with not much to do to help us pass the time.

To help us pass the time, I have some up with a competition to test our skills as  prospective GMs. In fantasy we try to construct our best teams, but can we predict where the players will go in real life? In this link, you will find a Google Form of the top MLB free agents

The purpose of the game is to pick the most correct landing spots for the top free agents. Winner will receive a free t-shirt from the Justin Mason Collection at Rotowear. Ties will be broken by random draw. I will not count Hyun-Jin Ryu towards the scoring as he accepted the qualifying offer yesterday. The pool will close on Friday and the winner will be announced via Twitter on 2/1/18.

In subsequent posts, I will share the pools thoughts on where they think players will go. Good luck and good night.

Justin, just an idea, but you would likely get more people to sign up if they had the chance to win RotoWear’s Wander Javier t-shirt instead.
