1917's Top Unsigned Players

NEW YORK, NY. September 7, 1916 - As the 1916 comes to a close, everyone's main focus is on the pennant chase in both leagues.

But every team, including the dreadful Boston and Detroit clubs, are looking toward the off-season. With free agency finally a reality after five seasons, club owners have a new strategy to build their team. They can save money and focus on developing their own drafted talent, or they could sacrifice their bottom line and go after high priced free agents. Here are a few of the players that will make a big impact on their new team.

2B Boots Groat, Washington Grays, 23 yo
CF Dick McGovern, Pittsburgh Keystones, 27 yo
SP Isiah Barnhart, Reading Reds, 35 yo
RF Orrin Seeley, Washington Grays, 26 yo
SP Harman Putman, Chicago Orphans, 29 yo
