MLB free agency Carlos Correa Kyle Schwa

No matter what happens the rest of the way, the Marc-Edouard Vlasic Kids Jersey 2021 World Series and the 2021 baseball season will be over one week from Thursday. , so the offseason will begin next Thursday at the latest. The and are currently tied 1-1 in the Fall Cla sic.Once the offseason begins, the 30 will hunker down and evaluate the free agent market, and determine who they want to sign and who they're fine living without. Teams are smart enough and so proce s-oriented these days that a great (or terrible) postseason won't change how they value a free agent-to-be too much. It does happen on occasion though.The most notable recent example: . Eovaldi had a brilliant postseason with the 2018 , and turned it into a four-year, $68 million contract that offseason. He received the second largest pitching contract of the winter (behind ) despite a career plagued by injury and inconsistency, and not yet throwing a full season following his second Tommy John surgery. -- it's the "we want to keep the band together" effect -- though they're not the only teams guilty of signing a free agent to an inflated contract following a dominant postseason run (see: and the ). It's happened before and it will almost certainly happen again. With that in mind, let's rank the 10 free agents-to-be who have improved their stock this postseason, even if only slightly. To be clear, this is not a ranking of the 10 best free agents playing in the postseason. It is the 10 free agents-to-be who have improved their stock this most, relative to their free agent-to-be brethren. ATL LF #8 2021 postseason G12BA0.426R7HR3RBI11SB1 The last 11 months or so have been a whirlwind for Rosario. The non-tendered him last offseason rather than pay him roughly $9 million through arbitration, then Cleveland wanted so little to do with him this summer that they salary dumped him at the trade deadline. The released the player they received in the trade ( ) hours later.Now Rosario is a reigning and in the World Series. The 30-year-old hit .254/.296/.389 with Cleveland before the trade and .271/.330/.573 with the Braves after the trade. He had two hits in World Series Game 1, including a double, and his 14 hits in the NLCS tied the record for hits in a single postseason series. Postseason aside, Rosario is what he is at this point. He's going to hit .260-ish with 20-plus home runs if given enough at-bats, though he rarely walks and will post an on-base percentage closer to .300 than .350. Also, he's never rated as a particularly adept defender. Rosario has power and he doesn't strike out much, and that's not nothing. The rest of his game is just OK.One comp jumps to mind: Angel Pagn. Pagn was good with the 2012 during the Dalton Prout Jersey regular season (.288/.338/.440), then he provided several timely hits in October that made him the center of attention. San Francisco won the World Series that year and quickly re-signed Pagn to a four-year, $40 million contract. The postseason undoubtedly helped him land that nice deal.In 2021, no team is going to say "Rosario was great in the postseason, let's give him a big contract." That's not how they operate. Rosario's postseason could prompt a team to say "let's take another look at this guy, just in case" though, and really, all it takes is one team to buy into the postseason. Rosario's done nothing but help his free agent stock this postseason. BOS RP #74 2021 postseason G8ERA0.00WHIP.57IP7BB1K14 Jansen's reinvention occurred at midseason, when he went from 90 percent cutters to 60 percent cutters, and began throwing more sliders and sinkers. He was dominant the final two months of the regular season (held hitters to .087/.168/.141 in his final 27 2/3 innings) and out of this world good in October, Brandon Bollig Kids Jersey retiring 21 of the 25 batters he faced with 14 strikeouts.Even at age 34, Jansen remains a lockdown closer, and he showed the willingne s and adaptability to pitch earlier in the game in the postseason as well. Three of his eight appearances came in the eighth inning, which is something we've seen other established closers struggle with at times (see: ). Jansen is excellent and can pitch whenever he's needed.Kenley is all but certain to have to take a pay cut given his age (his just completed contract averaged $16 million per year), though he should be able to command multiple years given his dominance the final three months of 2021. Jansen is still an elite closer and it's hard to see him with a team other than the Dodgers, but we don't know the team's plans just yet. LAD CF #3 2021 postseason G11BA0.351R9HR4RBI12SB3 Hitting a walk-off home run in the NL Wild Card Game and then three home runs in an elimination game is a good way to make a name for yourself in October, eh? Also, Taylor has been to the postseason enough times with the Dodgers that his body of work in October isn't small a sample size anymore:Taylor in regular season: .264/.341/.458 in 657 games (Dodgers only)Taylor in the postseason: .259/.364/.478 in 62 gamesTaylor is the kind of player who could fit with every team because he's productive at the plate and can play just about any position on the field. His age (31) will prevent him from securing a ma sive payday, though he was always heading for a lucrative multi-year contract. The strong postseason Evander Kane Men Jersey run (particularly in the NLCS) will only heighten his value. MIN SS #4 2021 postseason G12BA0.273R9HR1RBI6SB0 Truth be told, there wasn't much Correa could do this postseason to change his free agent stock in either direction. He's going to be the No. 1 free agent on the market as a just turned 27-year-old superstar shortstop. A case can be made Correa will be the most desirable free agent since Alex Rodriguez in 2001. He's excellent in all phases of the game and still so very young, and if you think the sign-stealing scandal will cost him, I will politely remind you . Correa's overall postseason numbers are good and he's had a handful of big moments, like his go-ahead two-run double in ALDS Game 4 against the and his game-winning home run in ALCS Game 1 against the Red Sox. It speaks to Correa's excellence that he's been as productive as he's been this postseason, and it just kind of flies under the radar. A bad postseason wasn't going to cost him and a good postseason wasn't going to up his payday, but he took no chances. Correa's been great. Dillon Hamaliuk Jersey DET SP #57 2021 postseason G3ERA4.97WHIP.96IP12.2BB2K14 At 28, Rodriguez will be one of the youngest free agents on the market this offseason. He mi sed last year after developing a heart i sue related to COVID-19, and his return this season was only so-so. In 31 regular season starts (plus one relief appearance) Rodriguez pitched to a 4.74 ERA with a career worst 1.39 WHIP. He took the ball every fifth day following the lost season and that's a plus. Overall though, he wasn't great.The underlying numbers s
