Just a reminder as we head into the meat of our 2020/21 off-season.
If players are entering the final year of their contracts, they must be signed to an extension prior to Opening Day or else they will be a free agent at the end of the 2021 season. Players entering their final year also cannot be extended mid-season. Only players signed beyond 2021 can be extended mid-season.
Here's a team by team review of players in this situation as well as some notes on players in this situation that cannot be extended for other reasons, which I have noted with a comment next to their names. A reminder that if a player has been extended once before, they can't be extended again.
If a player is not mentioned here, please reach out and ask. If you have any questions / clarifications about the players listed below, please let me know.
