What happened: MLB.com has begun its 2026-27 Hot Stove preview with 11 players who could be available after the season. The overview frames potential moves around clubs planning for 2027 and beyond.

Why it matters: The list signals that offseason roster planning is already taking shape before the regular season ends. Any movement would affect the winter trade market and teams’ longer-term planning.

What to watch: The regular season’s final weeks will clarify which clubs enter the offseason looking to buy, sell or reshape their rosters.
