Minor League Players Elect Free Agency

As the MLB offseason approaches, multiple players are electing minor league free agency each week, separate from six-year MLB free agents, who will become available after the World Series. Eligible minor leaguers, who were outrighted off a team's 40-man roster and have the necessary service time, can opt for free agency once the regular season ends. Notable players like Reese McGuire and Alex Jackson have recently made this decision, with McGuire hitting .252 over seven seasons and Jackson posting a .456 OPS over five seasons. The trend of players testing the market is expected to continue as the offseason progresses. Updates on these transactions will be periodically provided by MLB Trade Rumors and reflected on MiLB.com.
