A Catfish Hunter Yankeeography states that Ken Harrelson (A's to Red Sox) was "technically the first free agent in 1967", as well as that Catfish Hunter was the player who virtually "paved the way for future fortunes."
However, a book (Pennants and Pinstripes) about the Yankees from 1903-2002 mentions the Indians letting go of Tommy Henrich with permission from Commissioner Landis, and signed with the Yankees as a free agent.
