Minor League Free Agents 2016

Fourteen players selected in the first three rounds of the 2010 draft are free for the first time to choose their next employer after becoming minor league free agents on Nov. 7.

The group includes (with original drafting organization) first-rounders Michael Choice (Athletics), Alex Wimmers (Twins), Kellin Deglan (Rangers) and Cito Culver (Yankees); supplemental first-rounders Matt Lipka (Braves), Taylor Lindsey (Angels), Asher Wojciechowski (Blue Jays), Drew Vettleson (Rays) and Peter Tago (Rockies); second-rounder Stetson Allie (Pirates); and third-rounders Rob Brantly (Tigers), Pat Dean (Twins), Leon Landry (Dodgers) and Sean Coyle (Red Sox)

In the case of these 14 players, they qualified for minor league free agency because they signed a minor league Uniform Player Contract in 2010 and have not been released from the terms of that UPC.

Teams can renew a player’s UPC six times—for the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons, in the case of 2010 draft picks—before the player either is declared a minor league free agent or his club adds him to the 40-man roster. In rare cases, the two sides agree to a successor minor league contract for 2017, as the Twins did with 2010 second-rounder Niko Goodrum in October.

Major League Baseball grants free agency to all eligible players—major and minor league alike—five days after the conclusion of the World Series. MLB furnished Baseball America with the 534-player free agent listing you see below.

Free agents are listed alphabetically by position, with closing minor league level in parentheses.
