The Opener: Deadlines, Decisions, Top 50 FAs ...Middle East

News by : (MLBtraderumors) -

This should be a busy day. Here’s a reminder of the schedule for Monday…

1. 40-man roster cuts

Teams are required to trim their 40-man rosters down to 40 players by 4pm CT. Players on the 60-day IL will need to be activated and either added back to the 40-man or moved off the roster. The shuffling required to make all the pieces fit could lead to more trades like last night when the Giants sent Nate Furman to the Nationals. San Francisco had a lengthy list of players on the 60-day IL and still has 49 players on its 40-man roster.

2. Options and qualifying offers

Contract options are also due today. Player, team, and mutual options will need to be settled as free agency nears. Qualifying offers are also due today. Teams can make a QO to pending free agents who have spent all season with the club and haven’t previously received it. The QO is set at $23.15MM this year. If a player rejects the QO and signs elsewhere, his original team gets a draft pick.

3. Free agency begins

The floodgates officially open at 4pm CT. The negotiating window between pending free agents and their current teams will be over, which means they can start pursuing new opportunities. Our massive Top 50 Free Agents article will drop this evening. It has player analysis and predictions for every notable name on the market.
