Starting Pitchers

1st-Team starters include a range of financial outlooks, including 3 players (Yamamoto, Friend, Crochet) signed long term, one of the more exciting upcoming contract years (Skubal), and the best value in all of baseball (Skenes). As a pre-arbitration player Skenes is eligible for a $1M bonus for this honor, but it will be superseded by his $2.5M Cy Young bonus.

A tale of two stories here, as Guerrero locked in a $500M extension at the start of the season, while Kurtz (the AL Rookie of the Year), played out his huge season on a pro-rated minimum salary. Kurtz is eligible for a $500,000 bonus for this honor as a pre-arbitration player, but that bonus will be superseded by his $750,000 Rookie of the Year bonus.

Marte has been one of the most productive players at the position for nearly a decade, but has been rumored in trade discussions to begin the 2026 offseason. Turang had a breakout campaign in 2025, and is now arbitration eligible for the next four seasons. He also earns a $500,000 bonus for making 2nd-Team All-MLB as a pre-arbitration player.

Shortstops

Witt remains one of baseball's most productive, 5-tool players and will be handsomely compensated for the next decade-plus for those efforts. Bichette enters the winter as one of the most talented free agents, likely seeking a contract upwards of $200M in total value.

Caminero is eligible for a $500,000 bonus as a pre-arbitration player earning a 2nd-Team All-MLB honor.

Outfielders

Bang for buck at the top of this list as the top two paid OF find themselves on the 1st-Team. Soto finished 3rd in NL MVP voting, while Judge just clipped Cal Raleigh for his 3rd MVP h9nor in 4 seasons. Bellinger opted out of his contract in NY and will test the open market this winter.

Designated Hitters

Ohtani secured his 4th MVP in 5 seasons, all of them unanimously. It's an unprecedented stretch not just by baseball standards, but across the sports landscape. Schwarber was the MVP runner-up to Ohtani in 2025, setting himself up very nicely for a second career trip through free agency this winter.
