Former Texas Rangers shortstop and two-time All-Star Elvis Andrus has announced that he plans to retire this Friday. The 36-year-old started his MLB career in 2009, debuting with Texas. He was an All-Star in 2010 and 2012. In 2017, he also received the Rangers Player of the Year Award.

In a move that could significantly impact the New York Mets offseason plans, left-hander Sean Manaea is set to pursue the free agent market this winter. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes that Manaea is likely to exercise his opt-out clause, allowing him to test the free agent market. Manaea spoke to Nightengale about his recent pair of short-term deals. He mentioned that he would consider a longer-term contract, but unlike many other players, he doesn’t mind the short-term, opt-out path. This decision comes as no surprise, given the strong season he’s having and the potential for a lucrative long-term deal.

Leonard Fournette does not have an NFL home, but the free agent could find work in the coming weeks. The Indianapolis Colts recently brought the veteran in for a visit, and while the two sides have yet to come to terms, it shows at least one organization is interested in the former top-five pick and Super Bowl champion. As a vested veteran, teams won’t owe any guaranteed money to Fournette if he signs after Week 1, so don’t be surprised if he’s suiting up for a new team in Week 2.

Just last week, Lonnie Walker IV was among the best remaining free agent shooting guards. Then, the Boston Celtics snatched him up, signing him to a one-year deal. With the Exhibit 10 language in his contract, the 25-year-old could get a bonus if he’s waived and plays for their G League affiliate. However, there’s no doubt that Walker put his name to paper in hopes of being on the standard 15-man roster. He may have the humility necessary to suit up for the Maine Red Claws. To that point, he played 29 games with the Austin Spurs —the San Antonio Spurs’ G League team —in his rookie season. Nonetheless, he’s better than the vast majority of G League players.
