The MLB offseason is in full swing. While most of the top free agents have already been snatched up, there remains a wealth of underrated talent out there. They are just waiting to be given a chance.
Today, we are taking a look at the top three overlooked free agents of the 2022-23 MLB offseason. Perhaps by the time you read this article, these hidden gems will have been snatched up by some lucky suitors.
3 MLB free agents worth taking a chance on
3. Trey Mancini
Trey Mancini is back on the market. The longtime Baltimore Orioles utility man was traded to the Houston Astros at the 2022 trade deadline and happened to win a World Series there. Now, he is back on the market.

Although his offensive capabilities have steadily declined, Mancini still hit 18 home runs in 2022. Perhaps more importantly, he is a great ace for any team to have on their bench, as he is comfortable in almost any position on the field.
2. Jurickson Profar
Jurickson Profar had a big rebound season in 2022. In 2021, his first season with the San Diego Padres, Profar only hit four home runs and 33 RBIs while batting .227.

In 2022, he nearly doubled those stats, hitting 15 home runs and 58 RBIs. Although he may not be the player that he was five years ago, Profar is only 29, and would round out the lineup of any MLB club looking for a speedster who can play more or less wherever he is placed on the field.
