These bats are about to break the MLB market, y’all. Per ESPN, this winter’s slugger tier is weirdly deep, diverse, and priced to move-from a potential $400M headliner to DH nukes and glove-first risers who just found 30-homer juice.

10. Jorge Polanco
Projected: 2 years, $26M; switch-hitting production popped with improved K% and homers, but defensive value sits on the 2B/3B/1B/DH spectrum.

9. Eugenio Suarez
Projected: 2 years, $45M; sixth in MLB HR s
