Commissioner's Note: a complete list of free agents is impossible, as any player who has completed a year of service anytime in history, as well as many who haven't (some international players and older minor leaguers), are eligible. This list primarily focuses on expiring contracts. So while this list is incomplete in the broad sense, it's complete enough to serve most needs in that it theoretically includes all players who were deemed worthy of ownership last year and are now free agents. On the other hand, a number of players who were on expiring contracts were eligible to be tendered new contracts by their teams as well, so it's plenty possible that a player on this list isn't actually a free agent at all and is still owned by that team. As such this is an unofficial list - no guarantees are made for its completeness, no guarantees are made on the players' availability, and no guarantees are made on a player's eligibility at the position under which he's listed. That said, it's still a very useful tool, and I encourage everyone to consult it regularly and to give Jon a big thank you for putting it together! Thanks Jon!
