At Babe Ruth`s funeral, Ruth's old teammates had served as pall bearers.

"I'd give $100 for an ice cold beer"

Hoyt nodded.

"So would the Babe."

Top 25 potential MLB free agents for 2025-26

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6554757/2025/08/15/mlb-free-agents-2025-26-offseason/

Edwin Díaz, RHP, Mets (opt out)

Age: 31

IP: 46 SO: 68 SV: 23

ERA+: 255

WAR: 1.9

Díaz is back to his dominant self this season. Since April 23, he has given up just two earned runs over 36 appearances. Overall, he has a 1.57 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Díaz holds $18.5 million player options for 2026 and 2027, and the Mets have a $20.4 million club option for 2028, but the three-time All-Star will likely opt out in November. When they play “Narco” by Timmy Trumpet and Díaz heads to the mound at Citi Field, the crowd goes crazy and excitement doesn’t stop until he retires the side, which he usually does. But he won’t need the music when he reaches free agency to again get paid as one of the top closers in the game.

33) Jett Williams - SS - NYM

 


The Good

Elite speed and a patient approach lets Williams wreak havoc on the base paths. His smaller frame packs a decent punch thanks to above average bat speed and air pull tendencies. He should be a solid defender up the middle.

The Bad

Sometimes gets caught snoozing with his patience, especially against heat.
