While there's still plenty of baseball to be played—we've got two-plus weeks of the regular season to go and a full slate of playoff action yet to come—the upcoming offseason and free-agent market have begun to become visible on the horizon.
And what a free-agent market it's shaping up to be.
From aces to middle-of-the-lineup sluggers to versatile veterans, there's going to be at least one available player who appeals to each one of MLB's 30 teams. Whether those teams are willing to pay what it'll cost to add those players, however, is a different story.
There's little doubt that the cream of the free-agent crop is going to get paid—and paid well—this winter. Just how high those new contracts will climb, however, will be dictated by how those players finish out the regular season.
What better time to take a look at which of the 10 best soon-to-be free agents have boosted or diminished their open-market value than right now?
Let's get to it.
