Multiple MLB Veterans Elect Free Agency Ahead Offseason

Several MLB players have entered free agency following the conclusion of the 2025 season, signaling a busy offseason ahead. Christian Vazquez, the only Minnesota Twin entering free agency, struggled offensively and with injuries during his three-year, $30 million stint, while the team's catching future likely rests with Ryan Jeffers. Alex Bregman of the Boston Red Sox, a three-time All-Star, has officially opted out of his contract, becoming the top free agent third baseman available after a season marked by solid overall performance despite injuries. The Toronto Blue Jays' veteran pitcher Ryan Borucki elected free agency after the World Series, facing uncertainty in securing a major league deal but potentially landing a minor league contract. Arizona Diamondbacks' left-hander Jalen Beeks also joined free agency, with his solid bullpen performance making him a reasonable candidate for re-signing. Additionally, journeyman reliever Carl Edwards Jr. elected minor league free agency after brief appearances with the Texas Rangers, who may consider bringing him back amid bullpen departures.
