Who was the first free agent in MLB history thus being able to go to any team?
There were two actually. Pitchers Andy Messersmith of the LA Dodgers and Dave McNally of the Montreal Expos refused to sign contracts for the 1975 season. Because of baseball's reserve clause, which at the time was a standard paragraph in every contract that stated the team reserved the rights to the player after their contract ended and could renew their contract for one season after the previous contract had run out, both played the 1976 season without signing a contract. After the season the two player's case went before an arbitrator who ruled in the player's favor. MLB appealed the decision but higher courts upheld the ruling. Free agency had been born. Messersmith signed a 3 year, $1 million contract with the Atlanta Braves and McNally, who had suffered with arm problems the past couple of years, retired.

Who was the first baseball player to sign a one million dollar contract?
On November 19, 1979, Nolan Ryan became the first player to sign a contract for more than a million dollars per year. Richard Moss, Ryan's agent, helped negotiate a 4-year, $4.5 million dollar contract for the future Hall of Famer, making him the highest paid player at the time. Although most people would say the above answer is the official first one million dollar a year player, in actuality Pittsburgh Pirate Dave Parker was the first player to make one million dollars a year signing the contract a year prior to Nolan Ryan. The reason he isn't commonly cited as so is because the Pirates worded the contract in a way to make it look like he was making that much because they didn't want to be known as the first team to pay a player one million dollars a year
