Major League Baseball’s playoffs will fill the calendar during the month of October, with the World Series set to end no later than November 3, 2024. Here are the key dates to remember as teams negotiate their way through the off season calendar once the 2024 World Series champions are decided.
Free agency begins immediately after the World Series for players with six years of MLB service time who are not under contract to their current teams. They can begin negotiating with teams immediately after the series is over, but can not sign with a new team until five days after the World Series.
