The World Series is slowly coming to a close which means MLB free agency is right around the corner. This gives experts and fans opportunities to analyze who are the top free agents and where some of these top agents will likely end up.
Of course after such an impressive regular season for the Dodgers, there was little doubt some players on the roster would top the list of available free agents. The Dodgers have three players on the list and all come in the top 16 (via Jon Heyman, New York Post).
Trea Turner tops all Dodgers coming in as the fourth highest ranked player. Turner sits behind Aaron Judge, who has been heavily linked to the Dodgers, Jacob deGrom and Carlos Correa, who has also been linked to the Dodgers.
