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.
Gunnar should elect free agency to get away from the #Snore-ioles
Was he outrighted of their 40 man roster? If no, then there’s your answer
He should outright the #Bore-ioles off of his resume and join the wealth management firm that I co-founded. We handle $1.7 billion in client funds
What do you do with your life? Troll? Certainly you’re not as important as moi
Some a-holes just like to hear themselves talk. The definition of a troll.
Using hashtags? Tell me how a nine-year-old opens a management firm…
Rowdy is signing as a free agent pitcher.
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
Also:
Thairo, Andrew Knapp, one other from SFG
Are any of these potential Scott Boras Clients?
MiLB FA getting a head start, or trying to get a look at what might be available for the limit of believe it’s 2 slots on KBP and NPB rosters by declariing early. Not *1* of these guys has a prayer of getting a guaranteed mlb job in ’25.
Ben Cherington says “Hold my beer.”
Chris Getz just filled out his pitchers for next year.
We got Danny Altavilla!
Not a single player on this list had a positive war
Padres should bring back Olivares as a RH OF bat
Who? Are there any baseball players on this list?
@andyger63
The pitchers are qualified to pitch batting practice or act as swing/long man in AAA.
Anthony Gose is still around??
@Larry D.
Say his name 3 times and he will appear. ;o)
I’m not sure if Olivares is the poor man’s Bryan De La Cruz or if it’s the other way around.
NOOOOO… NOT SEBY! Ha ha. JK.
Aaron Brooks is a 34-year old career fill-in call-up who has bounced around MLB for 8 years (including three stints with the A’s), spent two years in KBO (I think)
and still thinks he’s better off away from John Fisher.
Oh no! Not Matt Andriesse! How can we ever do without him! I remember the time when he…hmmm…oh yeah….um…that time…um…who was I talking about?
