"Many of these players reach free agency once their sixth full season in the minors is complete and they haven't been added to a 40-man roster - many of these players were drafted/signed around 2019. Others are heading back to the open market after signing MiLB deals, which run only for the course of that year. These players have already been released from other organizations or their original deals."
"Of the group, only a handful of players are heading to free agency who have been with the organization their entire careers. The name that sticks out from the group is Canadian Dasan Brown, who was drafted by the Blue Jays in the third round of the 2019 draft. A speedster on the base paths and a defensive-minded player overall, Brown spent most of the year in Double-A before being promoted to Triple-A towards the end of the campaign."
On November 6, 574 minor league players were declared free agents, aligning with the Major League free agency timeframe. Players become eligible after a sixth full minor-league season without addition to a 40-man roster, with many from the 2019 signing class, while others reach the open market after one-year MiLB contracts expire. The Toronto Blue Jays had 15 minor-league players entering free agency, including pitchers, catchers, infielders, and outfielders. Only a few have spent their entire careers with Toronto, notably Dasan Brown, a 2019 third-round pick who primarily played Double-A before a late promotion to Triple-A.
