A look at MLB’s offseason calendar: Free agents, awards, Rule 5 draft, non-tenders, arbitration and more

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers on their World Series championship, the team’s first in 32 years. Baseball managed to get through the 60-game pandemic-reduced season with minimal interruption, though that was somewhat tainted during Game 6 with the announcement that Justin Turner had tested positive for COVID-19.

In any case, baseball will (presumably) return next spring, but in the meantime here are the key dates to remember this winter.

The day after the conclusion of the World Series (today): All players with at least six years of service time who are not under contract for the 2021 season will become free agents.
