As the Winter Meetings inch closer and closer, teams are preparing to offer big paydays for needed replacements and reinforcements.

Big name free agents Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are expected to take home the largest paydays this offseason, but after Friday's non-tender deadline and the Mets and Mariners' blockbuster deal for Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz, a number of other notable players are hitting the free-agent market earlier than expected, with players like Wilmer Flores, Jonathan Schoop and Billy Hamilton all non-tendered by their clubs.

The rumor mill continues to churn after yesterday's news as new sluggers hit the market.
