As expected, Monday featured a flurry of transactions with teams working to get their 40-man rosters in place. More moves should be coming as yesterday\u2019s DFAs resolve, either through waiver claims, outright assignments, or free agency elections.<\/p>\n
1. Top 50 Free Agents is live<\/p>\n
It\u2019s here.\u00a0We published the 21st (!!) edition of our\u00a0Top 50 Free Agents<\/a> list\u00a0last night. The talented trio of Steve Adams, Anthony Franco, and Darragh McDonald spent months putting together the rankings and contract predictions, with some help from MLBTR founder and owner Tim Dierkes. Enjoy!<\/p>\n 2. Eight players get QOs<\/p>\n Qualifying offers were due yesterday. Eight players ultimately received the offer, which is worth $23.15MM this year. Here\u2019s the list:<\/p>\n Recipients have until 3 pm CT on November 17 to decide on the offer.<\/p>\n 3. NPB negotiating window won\u2019t pause<\/p>\n The pending lockout in December will shape the timing of the offseason. One factor that won\u2019t change is the negotiating window for Japanese players posted by NPB teams. Those players have 45 days from the time they were posted to find a deal with an MLB squad. That window will not change if there is a lockout, per a report<\/a> yesterday. Teruaki Sato<\/a> and company will have more like 30 days to land an MLB gig after being officially posted over the weekend.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of Christopher Hanewinckel, Imag Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected, Monday featured a flurry of transactions with teams working to get their 40-man rosters in place.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":956875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-956874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=956874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/956875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=956874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=956874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=956874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
