Major League Baseball’s 2013 Free Agents and Offseason Schedule
Josh Hamilton is on the Market
Well, the World Series is over, but baseball isn’t. It’s hot stove season.
Beginning this Saturday (Nov. 3), teams and free agents will be able to set pen to contract paper. Not until then, though.
There are also a couple changes in the free agency procedure this year, as noted over at mlb.com. Take a look.
For baseball‘s full offseason schedule, including contract eligibilities, awards (MVP, Cy Young, etc), Winter Meetings and the World Baseball Classic, check out MLB’s Important Dates page.
Here are the 204 official free agents and optioned players for the 2012-13 offseason by team, courtesy of my source mlbtraderumors.com.
Thank you for visiting Sports List of the Day! Appreciate it. Hope you’re all safe and dry and have avoided Hurricane Sandy’s path and wrath.
