The end of the World Series brought the official start of the Major League Baseball offseason, beginning with the dawning of free agency on Wednesday morning.
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons and pitcher Julio Teheran were the two Angels among the initial wave of 147 major league players to become free agents. More will join in the coming few days as options are exercised and declined.
Technically, the first five days of free agency is what MLB refers to as a “quiet period,” when free agents are not allowed to sign with a new team.
