With the MLB offseason now in full swing, teams have begun making moves to bolster their rosters for the 2026 season. While blockbuster trades and big-name free agent signings have yet to occur, many teams have been making under-the-radar transactions to improve their roster depth and reinforce their farm systems.
One area where activity is expected in the coming weeks is the minor league free agent market. Players who have accrued six seasons of service time in the minor leagues immediately become free agents at the end of their sixth year, freeing them up to sign with a new organization where they might have a better opportunity to make it to the big leagues.
