We've all been there: The restaurant with the book-sized menu. And worse: The one where everything seems appealing. In those moments, there's nothing better than a decisive waiter, a guide who can lead you to the right page, and then to the right choice. MLB's upcoming offseason has a bevy of drool-worthy free agent options, but not every great player fits every team's needs or wants.

Judge doesn't need to answer anything this winter, but the questions teams will ask have to do with the The all-time MLB AAV record is $43.3 million, and the position player record is $35.5 million . At $44 million per year, Judge could eclipse the $300 million threshold in seven years. At $50 million, he could do it in six. That may not be his preference, we don’t know, but it is one way to make an appeal.Those AAV records aren’t just a bar to watch in the Judge bidding. They could be a major plot point of the winter thanks to these two aces.
The knock is a penchant for minor but persistent injuries. The appeal is an all-around player who’s coming off posting 4.4 WAR in 136 games, with a 144 wRC+ that ranked first among the shortstops on the market. His A-Rod style body contains the most physical potential — and portends the most long-term stability — of the group. His maximum exit velocities are the highest.
Bogaerts will almost assuredly opt out of his $20 million per year deal with the Boston Red Sox and test the market. A Boston mainstay with two World Series rings, the 30-year-old might be the most bankable of the shortstops. He has been remarkably consistent — accumulating at least 580 plate appearances in every full season of his career . Since 2018, his annual wRC+ marks have all been between 129 and 140.
Like Swanson, Nimmo is coming off a season where his defensive numbers markedly improved. Unlike Swanson, Nimmo didn’t also need to provide proof of his bat in 2022 — it was already a known commodity pulled down only by a spate of injuries that limited his playing time in 2019 and 2021. See, better defense is great, but there’s too much precision implied in Nimmo’s career-best 5.4 WAR and Swanson’s even glitzier career-best 6.4 WAR in 2022.
