Former Yankees draft pick Oliver Dunn hits free-agent market after Rays make roster decision

Oliver Dunn has entered the free-agent market after the Tampa Bay Rays made a roster decision involving the left-handed hitter.

Outright assignment preceded decision

Dunn made the decision after receiving an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham earlier this fall. The move is reflected in Major League Baseball's transaction records.

Dunn is a former New York Yankees draft pick. His change in status places him among the players available through free agency following the Rays' assignment.

What the transaction means

The transaction marks a change from Dunn's position within the Rays organization to free-agent status. The available information does not identify his next team or provide details about any potential agreement.

For now, MLB transaction records establish the key development: Dunn has left the Rays' active organizational decision process after the outright assignment and can pursue his next opportunity as a free agent.
