July 2 is a big day in Major League Baseball as it marks the beginning of the new International Signing Period. It’s often on the first day that many of the top international prospects choose which organization they want to play for.
One team that has historically been active on the international free agent market is the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have signed top prospects like Yasiel Puig, Julio Urias, Yadier Alvarez and Yusniel Diaz in recent years.
The Dodgers are expected to fill out the organization’s depth once again this year, and they wasted no time getting to work.
