Free Agents This Offseason

Where will the top players go?

Free Agents This Offseason

As over three weeks have passed since the Cub's broke the curse one of my favorite parts of the baseball season has begun. The Offseason where player's who's contracts are finished can go and sign to the highest bidder, or to where they want to go and continue their career. In my opinion there are three Free Agents that will have the biggest impact for their new teams.

1. Yoenis Cespedes

The best all around player that is available this offseason will be entering his age 31 season and came off a campaign where he had 31 home runs in only 131 games. Cespedes opted out of a great contract with the Mets because he feels that their is more money to be made out in free agency. That is why I feel like the Dodgers will make a big splash for his services with their blank check policy.

2. Aroldis Chapman

The Cuban missile who won his first championship with the Cubs this season is one of the best closers in the game. The combination of age and dominating seasons he is a great peace to add to any bullpen. The Cubs do not seem like the front runners to resign Chapman this offseason especially with the amount of blown saves he had this post season. That is why I see Chapman resigning with the Yankees to add to an already formidable arm in Betances.

3. Ian Desmond

Desmond is my sleeper pick this offseason because he came off a terrific year with the Rangers. He showed off his plus arm, and how he could handle multiple positions in the outfield being converted from a shortstop. Desmond also had great all around offensive numbers. That is why I can see a team over paying for his services making him one of the well sought after free agents this year. If i had to predict I would go with the Mariners as a young rebuilding club who desperately need more right handed bats in their lineup.

Watching this year's off season will be a treat because next year you will have guys like McCutchen and Harper become free agents.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
