Details
Calls the ESPN core-v2 endpoint
https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/basketball/leagues/wnba/seasons/{year}/freeagents.
As of 2026-05, this endpoint returns HTTP 500 for every season tested and
there is no documented replacement; the function consequently returns an
empty tibble and emits a CLI error message. It is retained so that downstream
code does not break if ESPN restores the endpoint, but should not be relied
on in the meantime.
