One day after the Cubs topped the Indians in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, the Major League Baseball Players Association announced that 139 players became free agents under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

Some of these players will be subject to qualifying offers, and the list to come doesn't include the 38 players who have options attached to their contracts. Some of those 38 players will be part of the free-agent crop once those decisions are made. Also, players with opt-outs like Yoenis Cespedes aren't yet on the market, but he'll almost certainly choose to enter the free-agent pool.

Now here's a list, organized by the player's most recent team, of the 139 players who became free agents Thursday morning.
