Shohei Ohtani is the hottest commodity on the market, even with the expectation that he will not pitch at all in 2024. Among those who will take the mound next season, we’ve got the likes of Aaron Nola, Blake Snell and Josh Hader potentially on the move. At the plate, names like Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman could generate some buzz.
Check back often as more players find their potential new homes for 2023.
Players will be separated by position, and then listed in order of fantasy relevance within each positional grouping. Also included are links to any stand-alone analysis stories and/or videos regarding free agent signings and trades.
Note: Players who end up re-signing with their previous team will not always be included. Seven players were extended qualifying offers by their teams and have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 14 to either accept or decline. Those players will be listed in italics until they make their decision.

Mark Canha traded from Brewers to Tigers: Detroit acquired Canha’s contract in exchange for a minor-league pitcher, agreeing to pick up the veteran $11.5 million team option. One of the better on-base specialists currently in the game (although that’s as much due to his penchant for being hit by pitches as it is for his strike-zone judgment), Canha should occupy a similarly sizable role in Detroit to the ones he occupied for the Athletics, Mets and Brewers over the past five seasons, with similar fantasy production.
Canha was a top-200 overall option (and top-125 hitter) in points leagues, but also a top-300 rotisserie performer in 2023, the latter a credit to his above-average speed and unusually good success rate in stealing bases (80% career). — Cockcroft
