Free agency begins five days after the conclusion of the World Series, which means things officially get underway today. There are headliners like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado to keep things interesting for the bigger players, but already a couple names have elected to stay with their teams, including Clayton Kershaw with the Dodgers (new three year, 93 million deal with bonuses), and David Price (declining his opt-out).
For the Blue Jays, it’s a much different position than they’ve been in for the last few years. Last season the front office was looking to add to the roster and get them back into contention after a disappointing 2017 season.
