24 file for free agency on Sunday

The biggest names are:

Jason Schmidt, Giants
Alfonso Soriano, Nationals
Kerry Wood, Cubs

they join:
Barry Bonds, Giants
Nomar Garciapara, Dodgers
and
Frank Thomas, Athletics

who were among the players to file yesterday.

Soriano will be the cream of the free agent crop. I'd love to see Schmidt in an Atlanta uniform but it ain't happening.
