All 25 are high? I think most are close and half will be over. Likely the top 10juan good eye wrote: ↑07 Nov 2025 17:58 pmI’ll take the under for the fieldYouboughtit wrote: ↑06 Nov 2025 22:30 pm Top 25 free agents and their contract projections according to Baseball America:

Agreed. There's no way Helsley is getting >40m aav.ramfandan wrote: ↑06 Nov 2025 23:15 pmLOL yeah drop the '1' off in that total . Helsley would have a heart attack if someone offered him that offer. !Cardinalss4Ever wrote: ↑06 Nov 2025 23:05 pm Not sure I buy 24 lol. Gotta be a typo on their part. Also, didn't Flaherty also accept his QO?![]()
He sure would sign it quickly before the error was noticed

I'd do that in a NY minute if S. Gray is dealt.
But we both know BDWJr isn't going to pony up and they won't want to give away that draft pick (even though I would for Gallen).

Re: Top 25 FA Projected salaries - Baseball America
After this horrendous season, Helsley's value can't possibly be that high. Does anyone think Helsley and/or Gallen would have a reunion with their original team?

Does anyone think Helsley and/or Gallen would have a reunion with their original team? I would like to see the Cards look at x-Dodgers pitcher, Dustin May, as a reasonable potential signing. If he doesn't make it as a starter, how about depth in the pen? I don't think he is 30 years old quite yet.
