Thursday marks the opening of the signing window for international free agents, and the Dodgers are considered to be the busiest team and biggest spender. Typically, evaluating the potential young talents that the Dodgers are expected to sign during the July 2 period is almost impossible given the age of the players (typically 16) and the lack of exposure these players have had, if any, stateside.
This season, however, is unique in that three of the four closest linked players to the Dodgers have had some degree of playing experience or showcased their talents in the America, and two have already reached 18 years of age.
