As the offseason nears, a number of players elect minor league free agency each week. These players are separate from six-year MLB free agents, who’ll reach the open market five days after the conclusion of the World Series. Eligible minor leaguers can begin electing free agency as soon as the regular season wraps up. These players were all outrighted off a team’s 40-man roster during the year and have the requisite service time and/or multiple career outrights necessary to reach free agency since they weren’t added back to teams’ rosters.
Electing free agency is the anticipated outcome for these players. There’ll surely be more to test the market in the coming weeks. We’ll offer periodic updates at MLBTR. These transactions are all reflected on the MiLB.com log.

Oh no Jake woodford! What are the Pirates going to do for a fifth starter ?
Might have to promote a young pitcher that might give them a chance of winning.

I think we all know who is going to sign Anthony Gose.

Since Cherington yesterday said that he won’t be signing free agents for next season, I am comforted knowing none of these bums will be returning to the team
