The end of the World Series this week was followed by the start of free agency on Thursday. All players with six or more years of service time, and without a contract for the 2025 season became free agents at 12:01 AM on October 31st.
For the Pirates, that list of five players was led by Andrew McCutchen and Aroldis Chapman. Also eligible were Ryan Borucki, Yasmani Grandal, and Jalen Beeks. Teams have five days, or until Monday at 5:00 PM EST, to exclusively negotiate with players before they can talk with other teams.
