MLB: Nine pending free agents occupying good results at season finale

Two months may not seem like a long time in the grand scheme of a player’s career, but for a select group of upcoming free agents, his performance down the stretch could drastically alter his fortunes on the open market this offseason.

While teams obviously take into account the full curriculum vitae of a player when deciding whether to sign, we also know that recent bias is a real factor in some free agent situations:

These are the nine players who have the most to win (or lose) the rest of this season:

  1. Javier Baez, SS, Mets.
  2. Kris Bryant, 3B / OF, Giants.
  3. Michael Conforto, OF, Mets.
  4. Kevin Gausman, RHP, Giants.
  5. Kenley Jansen, RHP, Dodgers.
  6. Tommy Pham, OF, Parents.
  7. Robbie Ray, LHP, Blue Jays.
  8. Trevor Story, SS, Rockies.
  9. Noah Syndergaard, RHP, Mets.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
