It’s the Holiday season and several Major League Baseball teams have been busy shopping.
Who made out the best?
While Michael Bourn, Kyle Lohse and Rafael Soriano are some of the few lingering free agents on the market who could have a tremendous impact on whichever team they land with, they are all non-factors in this list.
Here is a power ranking of players who have been signed so far this winter with a break down of what each team will be getting for their money.
* All contracts are given with the buyout year configured in with no mention of any team options. For example, you’ll see Hisashi Iwakuma signed for two years at $14 million, which represents two seasons at $6.5 million per with a $1 million buyout.
**There is no mention of Mike Napoli and his deal with the Boston Red Sox because the deal has yet to be finalized; therefore, Napoli is still considered a free agent.
