Now that the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft has come and gone, the focus for the Los Angeles Dodgers front office will shift towards potentially signing undrafted free agents.
With the draft being shortened from 40 down to just five rounds this year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the undrafted free-agent pool is perhaps the best ever. And with it is a new system in place for teams to sign said players.
Under the new rules, teams can begin signing an unlimited number of undrafted players at 6 a.m. PT on Sunday morning. Prior to that, MLB sent an email to players for them to respond as to whether or not they remain interested in pursuing a career at present time.
