Send an item in an envelope to a player along with a note asking them to sign. Wait?
You write or type a letter to a player with a self addressed stamped envelope and their card - mail c/o their teams and hope for the best.
Unlike 15-20 years ago, most active MLB players treat TTM requests as junk mail - though it doesn't mean that there are still a few common players that will eventually respond.

Don't forget a SASE(self addressed stamped envelope) so they can return the card.

I haven't tried a lot of active players/managers but the 4 who signed for me were Pat Neshek(automatic), Ryne Sandberg, Buck Showalter, and Ron Washington.

Ok, thanks guys!!! What about fees? I keep reading about different players charge fees and others do it for free?

Ryne Sandburg? Wow, I have tons of old cards of him, I might have to try him out!

I think some HOFers ask for a donation for their charities and some older/retired players ask for a few bucks for their time.

Well he didn't sign my card, but he returned a signed 5x7 that I assume he signed during Spring training. Came with a letter explaining why he couldn't sign my card because of time restraints.

Make sure you spell his name correctly when you write to him.

There is an online forum you can join for a few bucks a year that is great for TTM'ers. Tons of info about addresses, who signs and who usually doesn't, and who charges a fee and how much. Can't remember the name of it though... anyone help me out?

We also have a quarterly thread going where we post our successes. Read it to get some ideas on who has signed. I usually post the home addresses for retired players, in case you want to send to one of them.
