Companies don't care. They want cheap labor. They deserve only lower tier people.Not that free agency had anything to do with employers. Back in the day, you went to work for a company or ball team, you stayed with it till you retired. Then when people started looking for greener pastures (with all the time and money used to make those people better) then those just walked off the job seeking hire wages. I dont complain about the free agency but dont shit on the companies or teams either. This was a free market society where you always were trying to find a better position in life. Companies are looking for better employees to fill those positions(unless they are DEI companies).
