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?
15. Michael King (2026 mutual option), Padres SP, age 31 (7)
King hasn’t pitched since May 18, sidelined due to a nerve issue in his right shoulder. He recently made his first rehab start and is expected back with the big-league club at some point in the next few weeks. If King reappears with the goods, he’ll fly back up this list. He was one of baseball’s best starters before he got hurt and will garner a ton of interest as a free agent because of his age, his relative newness as a starter and his 86th-percentile strikeout rate.
