MLB Free Agents 2026: Arozarena, Chisholm, and Skubal's Future Uncertain
Developing
In Short: Free agents Arozarena and Chisholm are expected to test the market, while Skubal's contract negotiations could break records.
Bleacher Report notes that free agent outfielder Randy Arozarena, who will become a free agent after the World Series, plans to test the market, as reported by The Seattle Times.
Left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal, who turns 30 in November, could potentially break free agency records if he receives an offer surpassing Stephen Strasburg's $245 million seven-year deal.
Randy Divish of The Seattle Times highlighted Arozarena's intention to explore opportunities in free agency, while Ryan Dunleavy of The New York Post confirmed the Yankees' stance on Chisholm.
The financial implications of these moves are significant, with Skubal's potential contract setting a new benchmark for pitchers over 30 in free agency.
What's still developing
- There is reason for the Yankees would want Chisholm back, but Ryan Dunleavy of The New York Post reported that it is "common knowledge" that the team will not attempt to retain him this offseason.
- "Randy has made himself a lot of money this season."
