MLB Free Agents 2022: Latest and Predictions for Trey Mancini, Chris Bassitt, More

Trey Mancini has had colon cancer. He won a World Series in Houston and is considering a move to Chicago. Chris Bassitt is a free agent. San Diego Padres are interested in signing him.

Trey Mancini won a World Series with Houston last season. He is looking for a new team. The Chicago Cubs are interested in him. They are also interested with Kodai Senga. Manka's value is his versatility and his character. Houston declined his contract offer in October. He will not be returning to Houston. Chicago is interested because they want to return to the playoffs. It is the first time in three seasons they haven't made it.

The San Francisco Giants are interested in signing Chris Bassitt. The team is also interested Carlos Correa and Koudai Senga. Bassit is a former New York Met who had a good season. He is expected to sign with Toronto.  Trey Mancini, Chris Bostick, and more are expected for the 2022 season, but they are unlikely to be signed by the Giants.

The San Diego Padres are looking for a starting pitcher and a corner bat. They have already signed Xander Bogaerts and are interested in signing a second-level starter. The team is in luxury-tax hell with a payroll north of $176 million. They will probably sign a player from Tier 2 and keep the money for the future. If they don't, the team will be remembered as an exception. It is unlikely they will make it past the luxury tax. Their last championship run in 2022 will feel like an anomaly. A player like Justin Turner or Evan Longoria could be a good option.
