Hey guys!
This will take place during free agency, but I thought it'd be great to get a list together now. Besides Otani, I'd love if we could get a list together of players up for silent bidding. This is the area of the league I'm a little cloudy in... do we go by the MLB's definition of a International Free Agent? Or was it just players that are 23 and older that can be bid on?
Available Free Agents:
OF/P: Shohei Ohtani, Japan (signed with LAA) - SIGNED BY TEX (1 year @ $36.6m w/ opt)
RP: Chris Martin, Japan (signed with TEX) - BIDDING TBD
OF: Dairon Blanco, Cuba (signed with OAK) - BIDDING TBD
RP: Yoshihisa Hirano, Japan (signed with ARI) - BIDDING TBD
RP: Kazuhisa Makita, Japan (signed with SD) - BIDDING TBD
Thanks guys!

Shouldn't Miles Mikolas be a standard free agent because he meets the required MLB IP threshold? 57.1 IP in 2014.

I'll remove him from this list. He can be bid on in regular Free Agency if he signs with an MLB team. I'll add a clarification to the rules.

Jeff (Former Rangers GM) wins Shohei Ohtani with a bid of 1 year @ $36.6m with an option for 2019. Definitely the most silent bids for a single player we've ever had. Multiple bids exceeded $35m... it was extremely close. Congrats to Texas!
