There's no such thing as a "favorite" or a "front-runner" for any free agent right now, except maybe if it's a guy likely to stay in the same place. There's no "in the lead," there's no "close to the finish."
It's either signed or not signed.

After years of customarily seeing the #Blackhawks at 32nd or 31st in @theathletic.com power rankings, today I see them at 20. I'm dizzy. www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

I also declined his option. Does that count?
An official announcement from the MLBPA is showing that Chicago Cubs infielder Justin Turner will be a free agent, meaning one of the two sides declined the mutual option. #cubs #chicago #behereforit

That $9 million can be applied toward "a strong offer" to a marquee free agent, who will thank the #Cubs before opting for one of several much stronger ones.
The Cubs have traded reliever Andrew Kittredge to the Orioles for cash considerations.
Kittredge, who the Cubs acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline, had a $9 million club option for 2026.

While raking leaves, I noticed dozens of birds assembled in the branches of our tallest tree, chirping in chorus, as if agitated. Possible film idea? Birds turn aggressive, attack people for no apparent reason. Not sure what I’d call it, but thinking “the birds” should be in the title. #scriptsky

Wow. #Cubs’ Jason Heyward is second, and it’s not even close.

Where would Dodger fans be without the stadium organist, PA system, and video boards constantly cuing them when to cheer and what to cheer for (“FREDDIE, FREDDIE…”)?

How does the richest team in baseball history play on a field where sharply hit balls down the foul lines send on-field personnel scrambling out of folding chairs to avoid interference?
