2019-20 TC Community FA Match: The Predictions

Free Agency is upon us. Now its prediction season. Three weeks ago I posted a prediction contest for the TC Community. We had 4 submissions, between this year and last year’s 10 I think the Community has spoken that this doesn’t need to be carried forward next off-season. Take a look at the individual predictions as well MLBTR’s for comparison.

For those listed that have already had news regarding a new contract:

Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon, Stephen Strasburg, Josh Donaldson, Zack Wheeler, Jake Odorizzi, Madison Bumgarner, Marcell Ozuna, Will Smith and Jose Abreu all received Qualifying Offers and can accept a 1 year 17.9 million dollar contract rather than test the market. Jose Abreu wasn’t included in the contest as a sub 2 fWAR player, who I didn’t believe would be extended a QO to, so there didn’t seem a reason to add him.

JD Martinez and Yu Darvish opted in. Aroldis Chapman signed an extension so I guess technically he opted in as well with an additional year added.

Stephen Strasburg opted out and became a Free Agent.

Tyler Flowers and Nick Markakis both had their options declined, briefly making them Free Agents before signing a new contract with the Braves. Likewise, Adam Wainwright has already resigned with the Cardinals.
