MLB Releases List Of 147 Free Agents Heading To Offseason
With the conclusion of the MLB World Series 2020 and the crowning of Los Angeles Dodgers as new champions, 147 MLB players are now free agents. They can begin signing with new teams next week and face the next season with new momentum.
On Wednesday, a total of 147 players became free agents. This means that they have earned at least six full years of service time in the MLB. They are no longer under contract with their clubs and can join new teams starting Sunday, November 1.
The MLB offseason awaits these free agents, along with teams looking for a massive talent upgrade. Many franchises consider Nelson Cruz, J.T. Realmuto, Trevor Bauer, George Springer, and DJ LeMahieu as some of the best free agency players this season.
