The 1B Free Agent 2025-26 Depth Signings
7. Wilmer Flores – Wilmer Flores offers sneaky power and lineup flexibility, capable of filling in at multiple infield spots. He’s not an everyday force, but his bat plays in a platoon role, and he remains steady in key spots.
8. Josh Bell – Josh Bell brings switch-hitting power but has struggled to find consistency. When he’s locked in, he’s a legitimate middle-of-the-order threat, but streaky production has defined his recent years.
9. Ty France – Ty France’s production has slipped since his breakout years in Seattle, but at his best, he’s a solid contact bat with occasional pop. If he rebounds, he’s a bargain pickup in free agency.
10. Justin Turner – Even entering his age-41 season, Justin Turner will continue to grind out quality at-bats. His defensive days at third are behind him, but his veteran bat, high-contact approach, and leadership will still draw interest.
11. Donovan Solano – A contact-first hitter, Donovan Solano is more of a utility piece than a power threat. He won’t change a lineup, but his ability to put the ball in play makes him a depth option for contenders.
12. LaMonte Wade Jr. – A patient, on-base-driven bat, LaMonte Wade posted strong walk rates and can play multiple spots in the field. He’s not a prototypical slugging first baseman, but his versatility and approach add value as a utility man.
13. Connor Joe – Connor Joe profiles as a role player with some on-base skills and occasional pop. He’s not a difference-maker, but he offers depth and lineup coverage across multiple positions.
