With the season well under way, it’s worth noting that a former Braves player is still a free agent on May 11.
Eddie Rosario is currently available to sign with any team in the MLB.
The Braves wrote (via X) on May 9, 2025: “The #Braves today selected INF Luke Williams to the major league roster and designated OF Eddie Rosario for assignment.”
Rosario has yet to appear in an MLB game since getting let go by the Braves in 2025.
He played 38 games in the Puerto Rican Winter League (and was with Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic).
Francys Romero of Beisbol FR wrote (on March 6): “Eddie Rosario hits an RBI single and Puerto Rico now leads 3–0 over Colombia in the 5th inning. The crowd at Hiram Bithorn Stadium erupts. At 34 years old, Rosario is currently a free agent, but he has the World Baseball Classic to change that.”
