Not that the Los Angeles Dodgers necessarily need any more pitching depth, but it's widely been assumed that Clayton Kershaw—he of the three NL Cy Young Awards and 10 All-Star Game appearances—will rejoin the only team he's ever pitched for.

Set to turn 37 in March, Kershaw is currently recovering from surgeries that he had on his left knee and left big toe in November. But he's said that he plans to pitch in 2025, and it's hard to imagine it being with anyone other than the club with which Kershaw has spent 17 seasons.

Kershaw isn't the only notable remaining free agent. Here are the top seven remaining free agents—including a few of Kershaw's former teammates—with landing spot predictions.

7. J.D. Martinez

2024 Stats: .235/.320/.406, 16 HR, 69 RBI, 49 BB, .725 OPS

Age in 2025: 37

Landing Spot: Tampa Bay Rays

J.D. Martinez is in the twilight of his career and is a fit for limited teams right now because he's almost exclusively a DH, but the six-time All-Star still has a place in the league. And Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently reported that Martinez does indeed hope to play in 2025.

Martinez's numbers from 2024 with the New York Mets don't look great, but he did still mash left-handed pitching. In 138 plate appearances against left-handed pitching last season, Martinez posted an .836 OPS. For a team looking for a veteran clubhouse presence who can get a bulk of their DH at-bats, specifically the ones against left-handed pitching, Martinez fits.

The left-handed hitting Jonathan Aranda is currently penciled in as the DH for the Rays. Eloy Jiménez will be in camp as a non-roster invitee, but Martinez, even at this stage, would be a massive upgrade for a team trying to compete in a crowded AL East.

6. Justin Turner

2024 Stats: .259/.354/.383, 11 HR, 55 RBI, 59 BB, .737 OPS, 1.2 WAR

Age in 2025: 40

Landing Spot: Cincinnati Reds

Even after their recent addition of Austin Hays, it still feels like Terry Francona's Reds could use another bat. They bought low on Gavin Lux, but he has a .709 career OPS is currently in line to be their DH. Spencer Steer will probably be the first baseman on Opening Day for the Reds, although since he can play all over the diamond, he's probably going to see significant time elsewhere.

Justin Turner can DH or play first base, and he can still do so against pitchers from either side. In his 17th MLB season, he's probably better off getting 350 at-bats than 500. But he can still add to a lineup that's looking to compete in the wide-open NL Central while bringing a reputation as one of the most accomplished postseason hitters of his generation.

Whether it's the Reds, a return to Seattle or somewhere else, Turner should still be able to get a guaranteed MLB deal.

5. Kyle Gibson

2024 Stats: 8-8, 4.24 ERA, 4.42 FIP, 1.5 WAR, 169.2 IP

Age in 2025: 37

Landing Spot: San Diego Padres

One thing you can count on with Kyle Gibson throughout his career is that he's going to take the ball every fifth day. On eight occasions in his career, Gibson has logged 160 or more innings in a season, including doing so in each of the last six full seasons.

Gibson didn't get great results with the Cardinals a year ago, but there's still value in the fact that he pitched 169.2 innings. There's always a chance as he ages that he's eventually going to hit a wall, but until that happens, he won't have any problem finding work.

Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller recently said that the team still hopes to add "an arm or two." That comes at the same time when both Dylan Cease and Michael King have been mentioned as trade candidates. Gibson would make sense as a signing, particularly if the Padres trade one of those two, because he is pretty much certain to give you innings.

4. Kenley Jansen

2024 Stats: 3.29 ERA, 3.00 FIP, 27/31 SV, 1.4 WAR, 54 games

Age in 2025: 37

Landing Spot: Washington Nationals

Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic recently reported that while he drew interest from the New York Mets, Kenley Jansen still wants to close. Considering he's fourth in MLB history with 447 saves and his Hall of Fame case will only improve the more he racks up, it's hard to blame him.

The problem is that while Jansen did still close out 27 games last season, he isn't one of the game's elite relievers anymore. There are still plenty of teams that would like to have a reliever who has posted a 3.42 ERA and 3.26 FIP over 170 games the past three seasons, but most contenders aren't going to hand him their closer's job.

However, a team like the Washington Nationals—who have a lot of young talent and could be a sneaky contender this season—makes sense. They could offer Jansen the opportunity to close, utilizing Jorge López as his primary set-up man. There's an outside chance that with a strong season, Jansen could pass Hall of Famer Lee Smith, who has 478 career saves, for third all-time in the category in 2025 if he lands with a team like the Nats.

3. David Robertson

2024 Stats: 3.00 ERA, 2.65 FIP, 1.9 WAR, 68 games

Age in 2025: 40

Landing Spot: Texas Rangers

Tommy John surgery limited David Robertson to just 19 regular-season games between 2019 and 2021, but he's taken the ball 188 times over the past three seasons for five different teams, finding an excellent second life to his career.

Robertson made 68 appearances for the Rangers last season, serving as the primary set-up man for Kirby Yates. As with anyone his age, there's a chance you go back to the well one too many times. But while he can close, he's not set on closing like Jansen appears to be, which helps to differentiate him among the remaining free agents.

The Rangers have already seen Yates and José Leclerc depart in free agency. They have signed Chris Martin, and he's 38. But there aren't a ton of remaining relievers available in free agency, and with a starting rotation that has durability questions, adding another reliever is imperative.

2. Nick Pivetta

2024 Stats: 6-12, 4.14 ERA, 4.07 FIP, 2.0 WAR, 145.2 IP

Age in 2025: 32

Landing Spot: No one ... for now

Back in 2019, Craig Kimbrel didn't sign with a team until June because the Red Sox had saddled him with a qualifying offer, and any team that signed him would have had to surrender draft compensation. He got a multiyear deal, but the Chicago Cubs waited until after the MLB Draft to sign him, meaning to QO was no longer relevant.

The MLB Draft now isn't until mid-July, which complicates things. But the idea of surrendering draft compensation for a pitcher who has a 4.76 ERA career ERA—even if he has always had good stuff—feels like a stretch. The fact that Pivetta didn't just accept the one-year, $21.05 million offer looks like quite the mistake right now.

Who knows, maybe a team will step forward and give Pivetta a multiyear deal, because it's hard to imagine giving up draft compensation to sign him for just a season. But there's been little buzz about him this offseason, and it makes you wonder whether he might not have a team until after the All-Star break, when signing him no longer would require giving up anything other than dollars.

1. Alex Bregman

2024 Stats: .260/.315/.453, 26 HR, 75 RBI, 44 BB, .768 OPS, 4.1 WAR

Age in 2025: 31

Landing Spot: Houston Astros

Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 recently reported this of Bregman's seemingly never-ending stint in free agency:

Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reported back in December that the Astros had offered Bregman a six-year, $156 million deal, so the new offer would be a bump up from that.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post has reported that another team has a "lucrative" six-year offer out to Bregman, but added that it's from "a team that may not be high on his list." Bregman could wind up taking that deal from the mystery team, but the fact that he hasn't to this point leads you to believe he's holding out for something else.

Perhaps the Detroit Tigers or Boston Red Sox will come through with a convincing offer, but since they haven't so far, the Astros might ultimately provide the best opportunity for Bregman. Whether it's the increased six-year offer or a shorter term deal, Bregman returning to play third base with Isaac Parades moving to second base and Jose Altuve in left field seems like the most likely scenario.
