Matt Eddy at Baseball America has posted a minor league transactions piece that includes the first round of minor league free agents. These would be players who qualified for free agency because they’d been designated for assignment either for a second time or after reaching certain service time requirements. Most of these guys became free agents right after the end of the regular season.
The free agents include one Pirate, which isn’t news any more. That would be Drew Hutchison, whom the Pirates designated for assignment after it turned out that he was actually Drew Hutchison.
