Q. How long are Minor League players required to remain with the team that drafted them before they are eligible to negotiate with another team?

A. According to Major League Rule 3(b), "All Minor League Uniform Player Contracts between either a Major or a Minor League Club and a player who has not previously signed a contract with a Major or a Minor League Club shall be for a term of seven Minor League playing seasons."

Q. How and when do Minor League players acquire free agent status?

A. According to Major League Rule 55, "At 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 15 or on the fifth day following the last day of the World Series, whichever is later, of the last year of a player's Minor League Uniform Player Contract, the player's Minor League Uniform Player Contract shall expire and the player shall become a 'Minor League free agent' unless the player's Major or Minor League club has remaining options to renew the contract.

The players being signed aren't minor league free agents, they are still under club control and can't decline a contract on their own. However, the club can terminate a contract at any time. For example, the Mariners chose to release Luis Jimenez, despite him having 3 more years of club control and only being 21 years old.

I haven't been able to watch much of this as I'm busy at work, but I just got a glance of the night sky and buildings in Baltimore and DAYYUUM that looks good! Much better than what we saw of PNC last week.

The term year to year is a little deceptive because that's not really what it is as that would mean both parties have a choice each year but as has been mentioned, the team can release a player after any year.

The player doesn't have a say after being drafted.

Skyline in Baltimore looks really good. Pretty well lit.
