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?

11. Gleyber Torres, Tigers 2B, age 29 (9)
12. Luis Arraez, Padres 1B, age 29 (12)
13. Josh Naylor, Mariners 1B, age 29 (11)
You could rank this 29-year-old trio in any order, but I gave the edge to Torres, for now, based on his defensive position. He’s a poor second baseman, but that’s still more enticing than a poor first baseman, which is what Arraez and Naylor are. Torres has cooled off a bit since leading off for the AL in the All-Star Game (!!!), but the underlying metrics remain strong. Arraez slots in ahead of Naylor because I think Arraez’s high-contact schtick is going to age a bit better than Naylor’s. One fun thing about Naylor, though: He has 19 steals, a mighty impressive accomplishment for a dude with third-percentile sprint speed.
