In North American professional sports, the reserve clause was part of a player contract that stated upon the contract's expiration, the rights to the player were to be retained by the team. This meant the player was not free to enter into another contract with another team. Once signed to a contract, a player could be reassigned, traded, sold, or released at the team's whim. The only negotiating leverage that most players had was to hold out at contract time, refusing to play unless their conditions were met. The player was bound to either negotiate a new contract to play another year for the same team, or ask to be released or traded. The player had no freedom to change teams unless he was given his unconditional release. In the days of the reserve clause, this was the only way a player could be a free agent.
Once common in sports, the clause was abolished in baseball in 1975. The reserve clause system has, for the most part, been replaced by free agency.
Free agency in any professional sport can seem overwhelming at first, but this video will help you understand everything you need to know about free agency in Major League Baseball.
In this video, I go over the origins of free agency in baseball, and how nearly a century of the reserve clause paved the way for radical change. Curt Flood, Andy Messersmith, and Dave McNally all went up against the system with the help of Marvin Miller, to create modern free agency.
I go over service time as well, and how it plays a part in determining how much money a player is able to receive in their contract. I touch on pre-arbitration years, arbitration (including the super two designation), and of course, free agency. I also discuss non-tendered free agents and how anyone can become a free agent if th...
