MLB Free Agency Shakeup 2025-26: Kyle Schwarber Surges Into Top 3, Outshining Stars Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman—What’s Driving the Dramatic Rise?
9. Trent Grisham, Yankees OF, age 29 (16)
I’m fully buying into Grisham’s 2025. The list of every-day center fielders with this combo of pop (on pace for more than 25 homers) and patience (his 13.7% walk rate is 12th in baseball) is extremely rare. Grisham has always had raw juice and a good eye, but he has meaningfully improved his contact quality this year. Players like this, hitting the market this young, get paid.
10. Munetaka Murakami, Yakult Swallows 3B, age 26 (17)
The highly touted Japanese slugger was sidelined for the first four months of this season due to an oblique issue but returned, fully healthy, on July 29. And now Murakami looks like a man on a mission. He has already homered three times in 29 plate appearances, including an opposite-field moon shot in his first NPB at-bat back off the shelf. If Murakami can go on a tear over the next two months, he’ll put himself in position for a nice MLB pay day.
