Let the Aaron Judge sweepstakes begin.
The Major League Baseball Players Association released a list of 131 players on Sunday who now are free agents, with more potentially to be added, pending contract option decisions. New York Yankees’ Judge, who set the American League record for home runs with 62, headlines a list that also includes shortstop Trea Turner and pitcher Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers), first baseman Jose Abreu (Chicago White Sox) and shortstop Dansby Swanson (Atlanta Braves).
New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom is among those who could become a free agent should he decline his $30.5 million player option for 2023.
Free agents can’t sign with a new team until five days after the end of the World Series, and the signing period will start Thursday at 5 p.m. ET. During this period, the players may only be signed by their 2022 teams.
