Will Sammon joins DVR in an attempt to predict where The Athletic's Top 15 remaining MLB free agents are likely to land over the course of the winter. Is Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers inevitable? Which club in need of pitching will reach a deal with Yoshinobu Yamamoto? Will Blake Snell follow Bob Melvin to a division rival in the NL West? And, which teams looking for impactful position player upgrades end up with the likes of Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, and Rhys Hoskins?
