"Tarik Skubal was a consensus pick at #1, and we each had Freddy Peralta and Bo Bichette in some order at #2 and #3. It diverged from there."
"If we were ranking players by the projected annual value of their next contract, Gausman would probably have landed in the top five. The two-time All-Star should do very well on a per year basis."
The 2026-27 free agent class features Tarik Skubal as the clear top player, with limited high-end talent behind him. MLBTR's rankings reflect a consensus among writers, with Skubal ranked first and Freddy Peralta and Bo Bichette following. Divergence occurs in the back half of the top 10, with players like Trevor Rogers receiving mixed support. The rankings indicate that several players just outside the top 10 could rise based on their performance, while Kevin Gausman may struggle to secure a long-term deal due to age.
