Michael King, Sonny Gray among 14 MLB players to become free agents

Michael King and Sonny Gray are among 14 Major League Baseball players who have entered free agency as teams declined their mutual options. King, a right-handed pitcher, opted for free agency after declining a $28 million player option, while Gray's option was also declined by the Boston Red Sox, allowing him to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

In contrast, the Miami Marlins exercised their option on Sandy Alcantara, ensuring he remains with the team for a six-year deal worth $75 million. Other notable players, including Bo Bichette, chose to maintain their current contracts, while several teams, including the Athletics and Kansas City Royals, opted out of various player contracts, leading to a significant number of players becoming free agents. The deadline for additional options is approaching, with many more players potentially set to join the free agency pool.
