3L News: Free Agents File
Thursday, December 31st, 2020
Today is the first day of the free agency period.

With the arrival of free agency comes the opportunity for each club across Menard's Third League to propel themselves into the playoffs simply by making a few shrewd, well-calculated signings. General managers have to choose wisely where to spend their dollars. An expensive signing could be the key to a playoff spot or it could handcuff a franchise for years to come.

This year's key free agents include:


Bill Burgess, 31 year-old RF
Iván Pérez, 30 year-old C
Pedro Ritodíaz, 32 year-old RH SP
Aurelio Vázquez, 33 year-old 1B
Bryan Manning, 41 year-old 1B
Ramón Cabral, 26 year-old 3B
Keith Bridges, 30 year-old RF
Ed Anderson, 35 year-old SS
Carl Good, 34 year-old RF
Ryan Davis, 33 year-old RH SP

Each GM has a different approach to free agency. Many fans enjoy this offseason maneuvering just as much as the regular season as they watch to see how the face of their team changes over the next several months.
