The main focus of the MLB offseason will soon turn to Japanese star Masahiro Tanaka, who will be posted by the Rakuten Golden Eagles, and free-agent starters Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana, who are all still on the board.
While most interested teams have been waiting to see how the Tanaka situation unfolds, top free-agent hitters Nelson Cruz and Stephen Drew are also still available, along with closers Grant Balfour and Fernando Rodney.
Aside from those players, there aren't many available on the free-agent market who are expected to make a significant impact on a big league roster. That doesn't mean there aren't those who could fill an integral role and help a team in some way, even if it's at the back of the rotation or off of the bench.
In July, contending teams will be looking for these types of players, who can be had now at a likely bargain rate.
Here are six such free agents who are still available.
