Important Offseason Dates

[wibadgers23]

From MLB.com (Adam McCalvy):

• First day after the World Series: Teams can trade Major League players again, and eligible players become free agents. That starts a “quiet period” in which free agents may negotiate only with their own team.

• Fourth day after the World Series: Last date to request waivers on draft-excluded players until next spring.

• Fifth day after the World Series: Last day to reinstate players from the 60-day injured list. The “quiet period” ends and Major League free agents are free to sign with any club as of 4 p.m. CT. Minor League players become free agents at 4 p.m. CT, if applicable. Also the deadline for clubs to tender qualifying offers to eligible free agents and the last date to outright potential Minor League free agents before tendering them a contract.

• Nov. 7-10: GM Meetings in Las Vegas.

• Nov. 15: Deadline for players to accept qualifying offer is 3 p.m. CT.

• Nov. 15: The deadline to add players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft is 5 p.m. CT.

• Nov. 18: Tender deadline. Often referred to as the non-tender deadline, 7 p.m. CT is the deadline by which teams must formally tender 2023 contracts to unsigned players, including their arbitration-eligible players. If a player is non-tendered, he becomes a free agent.

• Dec. 5-7: Winter Meetings in San Diego, including the new MLB Draft lottery on Dec. 6 and the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 7.

• Jan. 13, 2023: Eligible players and their teams exchange arbitration figures.

• Jan. 15, 2023: Start of the new international signing period.

• Feb. 13, 2023: Brewers pitchers and catchers begin to report for Spring Training.

Things will be happening fairly quickly.  The Brewers have until this Thursday to exercise Wong's option and the non-tender deadline seems earlier than usual.

The non tender deadline is usually early December but think it makes sense to have the non tender and adding to the 40 man date close to each other.

The Brewers actually have until tomorrow to exercise Wong’s option and until Thursday for Boxberger, per McCalvy.
