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.

they stay a free agent
Free will means that God has given man the agency to act for himself. Whatever he does with that agency can either have a positive or negative affect upon his or others lives. The free will or agency of man has at times harmed others. All wars were started by the unwise use of agency. It is very rarely that God will intervene in the agency of man. Look around you and all that you see all that is happening is because of either the wise or unwise use of free will.
