Despite pitchers and catchers reporting for spring training, the MLB free-agent market boasts some elite names, and there’s seemingly no end in sight for them to sign.

That list features the Boras Four: Matt Chapman, Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery. It also features other players such as Mike Clevinger, Michael Lorenzen, Hyun-Jin Ryu, J.D. Martinez, Adam Duvall, Brandon Woodruff and Liam Hendriks, among others. It’s unheard of for there to be this many free agents to be available this late in free agency, and it’s left many agents and executives baffled.

There are still signings happening, however, with the most significant recent move being Jorge Soler signing a three-year, $42 million contract with the San Francisco Giants.

There have also been a handful of minor-league signings, and here they are, per sources.
