The 2020-21 offseason is just getting underway, but since we typically try to keep an eye out for at least a year in advance here at MLBTR, we decided to take a look ahead to next winter and the crop of players who’ll be free agents next winter, after the 2021 season. Players’ ages for the 2022 season are listed in parentheses.
