"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."
With the season concluded, several players are eligible to elect minor league free agency immediately. Major League free agents with six-plus years of service hit the open market five days after the World Series, while eligible minor leaguers may act now. Eligibility requires being outrighted off a team's 40-man roster during the 2025 season without being re-added and having multiple career outrights and/or at least three years of Major League service time. Periodic updates will follow on other players choosing free agency. Official MLB.com and MILB.com transactions pages list all such free agent decisions for reference.
