MLB Veterans Williams, Miller, Delay, Devenski, Alonso Enter Free Agency After Mixed Seasons

Several Major League Baseball teams are experiencing roster changes as multiple veteran players elect free agency following challenging seasons. The Atlanta Braves saw infielder Luke Williams, catcher Jason Delay, and pitcher Jason Delay (likely a repetition) leave after limited playing time and a crowded roster, as the Braves plan to return key players like Ha-seong Kim and maintain others such as Sean Murphy. The Chicago Cubs lost pitcher Tyson Miller, who struggled with injuries and performance decline after a strong previous season. The New York Mets are also confronting roster upheaval after an underwhelming season, with notable departures including veteran pitcher Chris Devenski, who posted a solid ERA but was designated for assignment late in the season, and first baseman Pete Alonso opting out of his contract. The Mets face significant decisions regarding their infield and designated hitter positions, with several players entering free agency amid a front office overhaul. These roster moves underscore the ongoing adjustments teams make in pursuit of improved competitive performance.
