2022 MLB Free Agents: Rumors and Predictions for Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodón & More

The upcoming free agent class is strong, with stars like Aaron Judge, Trea Turner and Willson Contreras set to hit the open market. Jacob deGrom, Carlos Rodón, Carlos Correa and Xander Bogaerts can opt out this offseason.

Judge is the biggest name slated to reach free agency. He had a record-breaking season with the New York Yankees. ESPN polled 14 MLB executives about his contract value. It's expected that he'll sign an eight-year, $290 million deal with New york Yankees, but there's a chance for a bidding war. The price is a bit more than Mike Trout's contract with Los Angeles Angels.

The Giants are keeping an eye on Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodón. Rodon is an All-Star pitcher who made the All Star team in each of the past two seasons. He is interested in a return to Chicago and signing a four-year, $127 million contract with the Cubs. The Cubs are looking to get back into the playoff mix after this year's 74-win campaign.

Bogaerts is considering leaving the Boston Red Sox. He is a homegrown talent and a face of the franchise. The team is trying to work out a new contract for him. Bogaerts is one of baseball's top shortstops. He's currently earning $60 million a year. Several teams will be interested in signing him, but he's not the only one.
