The Free Agents section (League Menu >> Transactions section >> Free Agents, or click on the two-arrow icon in the League section of the Icon Bar) contains information about players in your baseball universe who are not currently under contract to any team.
Note: Even if you do not have the concept of free agency enabled in your league, there will still be unsigned players on the free agent list, such as players who went undrafted, or those who were released from their contracts.
This section consists of several related screens:
- All Free Agents
- International Amateur Free Agents
- Posted Players
- Pending Offers
- Upcoming Free Agents
There is a separate section of the wiki that covers the overall concept of baseball Free Agency. Please visit that page to understand how OOTP handles free agency, including rules and how to enable or disable it for your leagues.
All Free Agents
The All Free Agents screen lists all players in your baseball universe who are not currently under contract to any team. This screen is available year-round, although the bulk of free agent signing happens during the offseason if you have free agency enabled in your league.
Use the All Free Agents screen to look for players you'd like to sign. You can take advantage of OOTP's Views, Filters, and many of the Common Drop-Downs and Common Action Menus. Review those sections to get a better understanding of how to manipulate the data on this screen to suit your needs.
If you find a player of interest, you can offer a contract by right-clicking on the player's name in the list and selecting Offer Contract from the context menu. For more information, see Offering Contracts.
Any player without a contract is considered a free agent, even if your league does not have the concept of free agency enabled. Some examples of players who may appear here include players who went undrafted or those who were released from their contracts. See Free Agency for more information on the overall concept of free agency, how to enable it, and so on.
