Auburn Tigers Baseball Transfer Portal Tracker, Who's In, Who's Out of 2027 Roster

A young Auburn baseball team had a season to remember in 2026. Now, head coach Butch Thompson will have to go back to the drawing board.

Finishes in the SEC Tournament semifinals and the Super Regional will have the program wanting more as the Tigers head into the offseason, but Thompson should be bringing back plenty of talent. Most of his lineup and pitching rotation were actually underclassmen being ineligible for this year’s MLB Draft.

While the draft looms for some players, the Auburn head coach has spoken about a “nucleus” that he will look to keep around beyond the offseason. That will be the first priority while bringing in supporting pieces that will help the team break the deadlock of a Super Regional finish in back-to-back seasons.

Below will feature a live list of who is leaving the program throughout this summer, as well as the players who will be joining Thompson and the Tigers in the 2027 season as the program looks to get back to the College World Series.
