"Now that the season is over, we'll start seeing several players choose to become minor league free agents. Major League free agents (i.e. players with six-plus years of big league service time) will hit the open market five days after the end of the World Series, but eligible minor leaguers can already start electing free agency. To qualify, these players must have been all outrighted off their team's 40-man rosters during the 2025 season without being added back."
"These players also must have multiple career outrights on their resume, and/or at least three years of Major League service time. We'll offer periodic updates over the coming weeks about many other players hitting the market in this fashion. These free agent decisions are all listed on the official MLB.com or MILB.com transactions pages, for further reference. Infielders Outfielder Photo courtesy of Gregory Fisher, Imagn Images"
