What happened: Baseball America launched its annual monitoring of post-draft player signings. Amateur players not selected during the draft are now eligible to negotiate and sign contracts with any major league organization.

Why it matters: Undrafted free agency provides a vital secondary avenue for organizations to add depth and discover late-blooming talent for their minor league pipelines. Successful signings can eventually develop into contributors at the major league level, offering high-reward value without the expenditure of draft capital.

What to watch: Clubs will continue finalizing amateur signings before farm system rosters solidify for late-summer developmental leagues. Additional free agent additions will be announced as minor league assignments are confirmed.
