Why Tarik Skubal Dominates the 2027 MLB Free-Agent Class and Who Could Upend Him
Chisholm, though, could leapfrog Suzuki with a monster season. The gregarious Bahamian clanked 30 homers and swiped 30 bags last season but has gotten off to a slow start in 2026. He’s walking less, swinging slower and barrelling the ball less often. Still, Chisholm is talented enough to catch fire at any time. His defense at the keystone is stellar, as is his baserunning. Those attributes give him a decently high floor. If the offense bounces back, watch out.
Age is but a number. Gausman was initially much lower on this list, but he kept climbing higher with each edit. His performance, in the end, was simply too good to ignore. The Jays’ righty has thrown at least 174 innings in each of the past five seasons and is on pace to do so again. He’s no longer quite as dominant as he was from 2021 to ‘23, but this guy was the ace of a Jays team that was inches from winning it all last fall. The underlying metrics still love him, and his heater-splitter combo remains one of the game’s best. He won’t earn a lengthy pact because of his age, but some team (maybe the Jays) will pay big money over the short term to secure his services.
