I envision this thread for reference rather than discussion. If someone's got a question on how something works, though, fire away. Let me know if I forgot anything as well.

Nov. 3 - players file for free agency

Nov. 7 - start of free agency, deadline for option/opt-out decisions, deadline for qualifying offers to be made

Nov. 9 - GM Meetings begin

Nov. 17 - deadline for players to decide whether to accept qualifying offers

Nov. 19 - Rule 5 protection deadline

~~Dec. 1~~ Nov. 30 - Non-tender deadline

Dec. 2 - CBA expires
All dates hereafter pending a CBA

Dec. 5-9 - Winter Meetings

Dec. 9 - Rule 5 Draft

Jan. 14 - Arbitration figures exchanged

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Good call. I'm not sure it's official but seems like it'd be Jan. 15.

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association finalized a deal in March 2020 that addressed the international signing period during the pandemic. The 2021-2022 international signing period should begin Jan. 15, 2022, and run through Dec. 15, 2022. It’s the second year in a row the period is scheduled to begin in January.

Since the expiration of the CBA and the non-tender date are the same, does that mean the non-tender date is extended or does that mean clubs have to decide a day early or does that mean the non-tender date is fixed regardless of the CBA and the clubs are free to operate after the CBA termination ??
