As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the conversation around player value is heating up. With teams constantly on the lookout for bargains, it's fascinating to see which players are emerging as the biggest steals for their respective franchises.
Take Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks, for instance. After winning the NL Rookie of the Year in 2023, he's locked in at a mere $5.625 million for 2025. Is he the best bargain in baseball, or are there other players who could rival his value?
Consider the Atlanta Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach, who posted a solid 3.35 ERA in his rookie season while earning close to the league minimum. With so many young talents making an impact at such low costs, how do you think this trend will affect team strategies moving forward?
And what about the Baltimore Orioles' Colton Cowser? After a standout rookie season, he’s still on the league minimum. Will he continue to develop into a star, or is he destined to be a flash in the pan?
Let’s not forget about the potential of players like Paul Skenes from the Pittsburgh Pirates, who went from first overall pick to Rookie of the Year in no time. With a 1.96 ERA in 23 starts, is he the future ace the Pirates have been waiting for, or will he face the typical struggles of young pitchers?
As we dive into these discussions, I want to hear your bold predictions. Which of these bargain players do you think will break out in 2025? Are there any hidden gems on your favorite team that you believe could become the next big thing? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
