No. 14: Mike Napoli

Napoli was integral to Cleveland's surprising pennant, but will his second-half slump and poor postseason depress his market?

Position: 1B | Age: 35
Current Team: Indians | Best Fit: Indians
2016 Stats: .239/.335/.465 (.800 OPS), 34 HR, 101 RBIs, 5 SB

Working on a discounted one-year, $7 million deal, Napoli became the heart of the AL champions' lineup and the soul of the Indians' clubhouse in his year in Cleveland. While a return is his first priority, he will still test the market, as he should. Still, the relationship worked so well that Cleveland might stretch for a multi-year deal, thereby keeping the club that came so close to a ring intact, as Rajai Davis is their only other free agent of any prominence.
