List: These are baseball's top 25 free agents available as MLB lockout ends

When the lockout started 99 days ago, it meant all official free agency negotiations had to stop. Now, a flurry of signings are expected this week.

NEW YORK — Baseball is back, baby! And with that, there's going to be an absolute whirlwind of a news cycle. That's because when the lockout started 99 days ago, it meant all official free agency negotiations had to stop.

And there are some really good players still out there without a deal. In fact, this article probably won't age well as a flurry of signings are expected right away.

Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman and Kris Bryant are among 139 big leaguers still without a team, including some who might benefit from the adoption of a universal designated hitter.

Below, check out the top 25 free agents available, who will likely either return home or find a new home by the end of the week.
