FILE - Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani walks in the dugout during the ninth inning of the team’s baseball game against the Detroit Tigers in Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 16, 2023. Ohtani, Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, Blake Snell and Aaron Nola were among the 130 players who became free agents Thursday, Nov. 2, as baseball’s business season began the day following the Texas Rangers’ first World Series title.
That free agent market also includes Sonny Gray, Josh Hader, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler and J.D. Martinez. At the start of the day, 61 additional players had the potential to go free by Monday, depending on decisions on options and opt outs.
