Erick Almonte, president of the Federation of Baseball Players, said that the rules establish that eligible players will be considered free agents from February 15 of each year, but for one month they will only be able to negotiate with their own clubs. Then it will be from March 15 onwards that eligible players who did not agree with their clubs will be able to listen to offers from other teams.
The team that signs a free agent will get two seasons of control over that player, plus a mutual option of the parties for a third season. After two seasons, the team will be able to activate the third-year option, but the player will be able to dispute his salary in arbitration if he disagrees with the club’s offer.
The requirements to be declared a free agent are to accumulate 65 weeks on the team’s available list, have 10 years of being selected in the rookie draft and have at least 18 weeks on the available list or 12 years of having been drafted. in the draw regardless of the availability time for your team.
