While the baseball world is fixated on the current MLB Postseason, there's still plenty going on elsewhere, as a majority of the major leagues as well as the minor leagues gear up for the 2026 season.
MLB free agency won't begin until five days after the World Series, but the minor league open market has already opened and multiple former big leaguers have opted to test the open waters already.
As Mark Polishuk of MLB Trade Rumors accurately put it, any former MLB player that was outrighted off of their teams 40-man rosters during the season without being added back and also have multiple outrights in their career or have at least three years of MLB service time qualify for MiLB free agency.
