Default Re: Pettitte opts out

i am not sure if this is true, but Pettite is not a FA because he opted out. he only becomes a FA if he files for free agency. are these two acts separate in MLB legalese?

Regardless, if he opted out of his contract, what would he be if he wasn't a free agent?

Then Clemens was a free agent and signed with the Yankees?

Did Clemens even opt out of a contract?
