The Diamondbacks, Mets, Padres, and Yankees are interested in free agent first baseman Ty France, who won the AL Gold Glove Award in 2025 despite a decline in offensive performance. France had a .257 batting average with seven homers last season, and while he has maintained solid contact rates, his hard-contact metrics are lacking. The Yankees and Mets plan to use established first basemen, limiting France’s playing time, while the Diamondbacks offer more opportunity. Returning to the Padres could provide France a right-handed complement in a lineup predominantly featuring left-handed hitters.
