Breaking AA News: Free Agents File
Monday, September 29th , 2025
The opening day of AA free agency arrives today with a flurry of activity as players file their paperwork to become free agents.

For the next several months, players and their prospective suitors will be locked in fierce negotiations. Deals will come together, fall apart and be resurrected again. Teams will fight to meet their needs while staying within their budget. Throughout the process, there will be second-guessing from fans and media alike. Even players who remain under contract will keep an eye on things, curious as to who will be sharing their locker room in the coming season and whether that bodes well or ill for their own careers.

Months from now, when the free agency period has settled down, fans will finally get a glimpse at the latest version of their team.

A number of quality players have filed for free agency and could generate a lot of interest. Most notable among them are:


Tyler Naquin, 34 year-old RF
Tyler White, 34 year-old 1B
David McCabe, 25 year-old 1B
Austin Meadows, 30 year-old RF
Justin Connell, 26 year-old LF
Jon Berti, 35 year-old 2B
Brian Miller, 30 year-old CF
Blake Rutherford, 28 year-old LF
Alejo Lopez, 29 year-old 2B
Kolten Wong, 34 year-old LF
Naquin Selected AA's #1 Player
Monday, September 22nd , 2025
Regardless of where Tyler Naquin signs on next year, the 34-year-old will be considered a marquee pickup after his award-winning 2025 season with Fargo-Moorhead. Naquin received word today that he has won the American Association Most Valuable Player Award.

The right fielder pounded out 138 hits, 40 doubles, 10 triples, and 15 home runs while hitting .395 and driving in 84 runs this season.

He received 11 first place votes out of a possible 12. C.J. Cron of the Sioux Falls Canaries finished second in voting, while Kolten Wong of the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks finished third.
