1903 Free Agency Summary
The Cubs signed the top free agent for 4 years. Quite a few of the relievers have still not signed as of opening day (a continued issue with OOTP). I have also noticed that a few of the players will sign with the Independent League and then have their contract purchased by a Major League team. It seems the Indy Leagues are more aggressive about pursuing players, even though their season starts much later (May 1).
The Brewers let Magallanes go to the Devil Rays and instead signed Steve Gardiner. They must believe they can get better production out of Gardiner and may have not wanted to go the extra year.
