Top 2026-27 MLB Free Agents: Skubal Leads, Gausman Bubble

0:00It's April 7th. You're listening to MLB News today, AI-powered MLB coverage. Last week, MLB trade rumors dropped their first top 10 list for the 202627 free agent class, ranked by predicted earning. Power. TARG school ball leads as the clear number one, a consensus pick across all four writers. Freddie Peralta and Boba Shed round out the top three spots, though they swapped depending on who you ask. These early rankings are super ballad tile, especially with this group lacking depth beyond scuba. The writers, Steve Adams, Derrick McDonald, Tim Darkies, and the main guy aim for overlap of top, but things get personal lower down. For instance, Trevor Rogers cracks the consensus at number five, even if not everyone agrees. Players in the back half blur together, with honorable mentions nipping at their heels. One chatter and analyst takes highlight how performance over the next few months could shake everything up, turning dark horses into stars.

1:02Shifting to bubble guys just outside the top 10, Kevin Gaussman from the Blue Jays stands out. The two-time All-Star could command top five average annual value, but turning 36 next January caps his total deal. No free agent pitcher that age has landed a four-year contract in nearly 20 years. Keep an eye on these names as the season rolls. Some showings might rewrite the board before we know it.
