Free agency mimics the marketplace in most other businesses and professions: every individual is allowed to negotiate the best deal he or she can get from whoever is interested in that persons talents. However, from the perspective of a Baseball fan, free agency is harmful for two reasons: there is more movement of players from team to team than there used to be, and this turnover diminishes fan loyalty and their familiarity with their own players; it increases the cost of team operations, and thus the cost of tickets.
