Age: 36

It's hard to believe Turner is 36 years old, because he's producing at the plate like he's still in his prime. While his power dipped in 2020, Turner still hit .307 with an .860 OPS. The Dodgers likely will try to re-sign their prized third baseman, but they'll have plenty of competition.

Gonzalez, of course, isn't only a third baseman. He's one of the game's best super-utility players and can be trusted at pretty much any position on the field.

The 2020 season wasn't kind to Gonzalez's offensive numbers, but his track record and ability to be plugged in virtually anywhere on the field should automatically make him a coveted free agent.

Age: 32

In what was a down season for the Brewers offensively, Gyorko stepped up. He posted a .838 OPS and nine homers, outperforming teammate and former MVP Christian Yelich. With Milwaukee declining his option, Gyorko becomes one of the best third basemen on this year's market.

Cabrera is on the tail end of an admirable 14-year career, but he can still help out a number of MLB teams. His defense remains rock-solid at the hot corner and while his bat isn't what it used to be, he isn't a liability offensively. Even if it's just in a part-time role, Cabrera can make an impact in 2021.

5/5

Age: 34

The Mets have declined Frazier's $5.75 million club option for 2021. He'll bring some pop to whichever lineup he joins, as he's a pretty safe bet for 20+ homers in a season.
