1. Alex Bregman, Boston Red Sox
Age in 2026: 32

2025 Stats: 80 G, .302/.385/.540, 16 HR, 52 RBI, 152 wRC+, 3.2 fWAR

2025 Salary: Signed 3/$120 million deal ($60 million deferred, $20 million per year), player opt-outs after 2025 and 2026

Alex Bregman is the headline name of this class. When healthy, he remains one of the most productive third basemen in baseball, as his .302 average and 152 wRC+ from 2025 show. His contract situation complicates things—he has opt-outs after 2025 and 2026—but if he hits the market, he’ll draw plenty of interest from teams looking for a proven impact bat at the hot corner.

7. Jon Berti, Released by Cubs
Our list starts off with a few depth pieces that will be available for work this offseason, before we get into the needle movers at number three.

One of the fastest players in baseball, Jon Berti’s value comes from his legs and his ability to play all over the infield. He doesn’t hit for much power, but he’s disruptive on the bases and can handle third, second, or short in a pinch. At age 36, he projects more as a bench piece than an everyday starter, but his speed and defensive flexibility make him useful.

6. Gio Urshela, Released by Athletics
Gio Urshela is the definition of a steady veteran. He won’t light up the stat sheet, but his dependable glove at third base and contact-driven approach at the plate make him a safe option. Teams in need of defensive stability and a professional at-bat will give him a look as a stopgap or platoon starter.
5. Josh Rojas, Chicago White Sox
Josh Rojas brings a unique profile as a left-handed hitter with speed and positional versatility. He’s not a prototypical power-hitting third baseman, but he puts the ball in play, runs well, and can slide into multiple infield and outfield spots. That type of versatility will keep him on radars, especially for clubs looking to stretch their bench.
4. Luis Urias, Athletics
Once a top prospect, Luis Urías has yet to become an everyday impact bat but continues to flash streaky pop and versatility. He’s capable of handling both second and third base, making him a valuable depth piece. If he finds more consistency at the plate, he could be a sneaky value signing for a contender in need of infield flexibility.

3. Yoán Moncada, Los Angeles Angels
Age in 2026: 31

2025 Stats: 56 G, .238/.335/.440, 8 HR, 27 RBI, 116 wRC+, 0.4 fWAR

2025 Salary: $5 million

Yoan Moncada has consistently shown upside throughout his career, but injuries have continued to limit his availability. When on the field, he showed decent pop with a 116 wRC+ in 56 games so far this season. Teams will weigh his age-31 upside against the durability concerns that have defined much of his career.

2. Eugenio Suárez, Seattle Mariners
Age in 2026: 34

2025 Stats: 123 G, .233/.302/.532, 38 HR, 94 RBI, 126 wRC+, 2.8 fWAR

2025 Salary: $15 million

Eugenio Suárez brings serious power to the table. His 38 homers so far in 2025 show he can still change a game with one swing, even if the batting average stays on the lower end. At 34, he profiles as the top traditional power bat available at third base should Alex Bregman remain in Boston.
