Lists of Major League Baseball free agents

We are not a transaction site. We don't need to have whole pages dedicated to who is a free agent each offseason, as team season pages and the player pages carry all the necessary information. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Interesting, but also overkill. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 17:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't necessarily have an issue with deleting these particular free agent lists. However, I don't think that lists of free agents by year are necessarily non-notable.  In particular, the free agent lists associated with the collusion case a few years back would be legitimate to keep.  Similarly, lists of free agents by year of the fist few post-Messersmith classes, littered with all-stars and future hall of famers and million dollar contracts (not per year but in total) that had writers despairing on how free agency ruined the game.  But by now, free agency is pretty routine, and so unless there is some special reason to keep (e.g., the collusion case), deletion is supportable. Rlendog (talk) 00:52, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Article was never listed on an AFD page. I've done so now, putting it on the 18th. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 17:25, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a baseball almanac. Keeping a list of free agents every season is, like Wizardman said, an overkill.— Chris! c / t 20:28, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
