The five-day "quiet period" expires today, which means Major League Baseball free agency is about to get a bit...louder?
Friday is also the final day that teams can extend qualifying offers or for most players to finalize opt-out decisions.
Beginning on Saturday, free agents will be eligible to negotiate with all 30 teams.

Some of the projections seem a tad optimistic, particularly for players at the bottom of the list.
