Free Agent Season 16

Tons of names went to new homes this season, this was a pretty big FA class however most of the guys that were on FA this season happened to be over 30 years old. Here is a list of notable players to move teams.

RP Pat Dunston was signed by the Honolulu Asahis, Dunston is 37 years old and has recorded 221 saves over his career.

SP Robinson Dreifort was signed by the Boston Beaneaters, Dreifort was once a promising rookie that looked like he would be a multi-time Cy Young winner. Dreifort was a disappointment but he did a pretty good job in his career. Now at 34 years old he is trying one last time to get a championship.

LR Corey Evans was signed by the Richmond Colts, Evans has never been a super stud pitcher but he has always been reliable. Richmond has signed him to the final contract of his career.

SP Lou Hines was re-signed by the world champion Pittsburgh Crawfords, Hines is the season 12 NL Cy Young winner and at 38 years old he still plans to kick some serious ass. Hines was quoted after signing the contract to stay in Pittsburgh "We're going back, You can bet on that!" Bold words....

3B Denny Chong signed with the El Paso Diablos, Chong, a 4 time Silver Slugger makes El Paso much better. Chong signed his contract then called his bookie and told him to put money on El Paso.. How much did he bet on his new team? His whole first year salary!!

SP J.P. Sanchez signed with the Omaha Omahogs, Sanchez is the season 14 NL Cy Young and father of 2 seemed to get picked up cheap. You serious nobody wanted to spend more than 7mil per season on this guy?

RP Aaron Jackson signed with the Cincinnati Outlaw Reds, Seattle lost a good RP that could be a closer for most teams. Cincinnati's owner should be happy about this signing. Now if they can pull a championship off before the team starts wearing adult diapers.

RP Guillermo Johnson signed with the Texas Rebels, Johnson probably signed one of the richest contracts for his age but Texas can use a quality closer and he fits the bill.

RP Charlie Bergman signed with the Montreal Shamrocks, Bergman is a durable as they come and he is going to provide Montreal with that game ending ability that screwed them last season. Pairing him with Suzuki should be a dynamite combo.

SP Miguel Alou was signed by the Chicago Whales, This contract is very odd.. Alou gets 8 mil the first season then 14 mil for each of the following two seasons.. I hope Alou can hold up three more seasons ans be worth 14 mil...
