As we inch closer to February, there are not many free agents left. However, that does not mean there aren't some good ones still waiting for their next opportunity. 

Framber Valdez is one of these players. He was set to control the pitching market this offseason, but he has yet to find a deal with a team that he feels comfortable signing with. 

However, Valdez is not the only one. Eugenio Suarez, Luis Arraez, Zac Gallen, and Miguel Andujar are a few of the other players who are still looking for their next opportunity.

Miguel Andujar could be the biggest bargain left in free agency

Miguel Andujar is not the biggest name left on the free agent list, but he could be a great addition for a club looking for power. 

During the 2025 season split between the Athletics and Cincinnati Reds, Andujar hit.318/.352/.470 with 10 home runs and 44 runs batted in across 94 games. 

Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter suggests he could be a steal for a team looking for power. 

"At this point, teams are hunting for potential bench pieces and platoon players. His underlying metrics are not great, but it's all silly to just completely ignore the numbers he put up last year over a relatively large sample size of 341 plate appearances. On a one-year deal for a couple million dollars, he has a chance to be a nice power source in a part-time role."

Reuter suggests he could be a nice platoon or bench option on a one-year deal for a few million dollars. The Texas Rangers could be a team to watch out for here. They are looking for affordable offense, and Adnujar could slide into the DH role or one of the corner infield spots.
