Re: Start of Free Agency
Nov. 1st.....give or take
I would assume if because of weather, the series goes longer than that...than FA would be postponed...

Re: Start of Free Agency
I am only having a selective memory here, but I thought it started 15 days after the end of the World Series so there was no set date.

Re: Start of Free Agency
Regardless, I highly doubt you'll see much action in the first week of FA signing. Most of the good stuff happens during the winter meeting(s).

Re: Start of Free Agency
That is what I remember too. Players have 15 days to declare and can only negotiate with their current teams during that period. After that its a free for all.

Re: Start of Free Agency
