With the Houston Astros winning their second World Series title in franchise history Saturday night, the Major League Baseball offseason began on Sunday.

As of 9:00 a.m. ET Sunday, 131 players became free agents, and more will enter free agency after players and clubs make decisions on their player and team options. Even more players will hit the free agent market after some players are not tendered a contract.

Teams have an opportunity to extend a qualifying offer to their players by Thursday, Nov. 10. Free agency begins that same day, as players are free to negotiate and sign with any team they please.

Clubs have until Nov. 18 to tender pre-arbitration and arbitration-eligible players a contract for the 2023 season by this date. Players that do not receive a contract offer and are 'non-tendered' become free agents immediately.
