Show Me the Money

Posted by Kelly on November 5, 2010

Cash registerAfter yesterday’s post about free agency, I found MLB.com’s online sortable Free Agent Tracker. According to that list, the current number of free agents is…

…280.

No, really.

The list I posted yesterday was only those few players who actually filed for free agency since the end of the World Series. But, as I also mentioned, anyone who was released by his prior club is automatically a free agent, as is a player who had a contract option that was declined. That makes for a long list, some of whom will be signed to a minor league contract and others of whom won’t be picked up at all and will either try their hand at independent ball or retire.

For the record, the currrent list of 2010 Red Sox who are available as free agents is:

  • Adrian Beltre — 3B (player option declined)
  • Bill Hall — OF (club option declined)
  • Lopez, Felipe — 2B (club option declined)
  • Victor Martinez — C
  • Scott Schoeneweiss — P
  • Jason Varitek — C
  • and a bunch of minor league free agents
