MLB Teams Eye Key Free Agents for 2025

The Milwaukee Brewers are facing potential roster challenges with the anticipated return of Christian Yelich and a crowded outfield, alongside the likely departure of shortstop Willy Adames. The Los Angeles Dodgers, contending with significant pitching injuries, are considering activating Tony Gonsolin for the NLCS and exploring free-agent options like Max Fried and Blake Snell to bolster their rotation for 2025. The Houston Astros, after a postseason sweep, are eyeing Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty as a potential addition to their rotation as they look to rebuild. The Padres, on the brink of an NLCS berth, might pursue re-signing Blake Snell, who is opting out of his contract with the Giants, to maintain their competitive edge. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles need to strengthen their pitching staff and could consider Nathan Eovaldi as a viable starting rotation candidate.
