Type A free agents are players who rank in the upper 20% of their respective position groups under the statistical system of ranking players set forth by the Elias Sports Bureau, using statistics based on a two-year average for each respective position group. Type B free agents rank in the upper 40%, but not in the upper 20%.
Clubs receive compensation if they lose a player classified as a Type A or Type B free agent. If a club loses a Type A free agent, it receives a first-round Draft pick (second-round pick if the signing team is selecting in the first 15 picks overall) plus a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds. If a club loses a Type B free agent, it receives a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds.
The club only receives compensation if the player signs elsewhere before Dec. 1 or is offered arbitration and declines.
