AL free-agent weekly: identify likely free agents and Sizing bids for a $100 FAAB budget. Grids compare upside (A–E) and projected value across 12- and 15-team formats, with September rosters in view. High-upside names like Wyatt Langford are noted, but the focus is on practical buys and dart throws that can reshape the back half of standings.

Key bets include Kyle Bradish’s return to form in Baltimore, Taj Bradley’s high-upside dart throws, and a mix of mid-rotation holds like Luis Garcia and Parker Messick. On the hitting side, Ryan Mountcastle and Nolan Jones offer hot-streak paths, while pay-after-run risks like Payton Tolle and Dillon Dingler provide power-speed upside in shallower formats. September bullpen and closer options (Shawn Armstrong, etc.) add late-season ballast.
