Free agency madness is upon us, and everyone is running to make their predictions of where players are going to land. I put this list together last week and did my best to predict where I think the top free agents are going.
As a Red Sox fan, I don’t love this free agent class. All I see is a lot of aging stars who want a ton of money.
Let the chaos begin.
