Baseball's premier position is loaded with stars, so we asked our experts to select the one they'd build a franchise around.
Pete Alonso will face Ronald Acuna Jr. in a rematch of 2019 while top seed Kyle Schwarber matches up with Albert Pujols in the first round of the 2022 Home Run Derby.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have extended qualifying offers to Corey Seager and Chris Taylor, but not Clayton Kershaw.
Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa are among the 160 players who became free agents, while about 50 additional players are also potentially eligible, pending decisions on options in their contracts for 2022.
With shortstops Carlos Correa and Corey Seager poised to headline a strong free agent class, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said the position is "an area of need" as the team looks to replace Gleyber Torres, who was moved to second base.
From stars we're often too hard on to veterans we don't talk about enough, baseball's extended hiatus is a good reminder to give these guys some more love this season.
