Beyond the nine Los Angeles Dodgers who became free agents the morning after the 2016 World Series concluded, the organization also had 26 players in their farm system reach the open market.
The group is headline by several players who spent the season with and/or filled a key role for Triple-A Oklahoma City, including Logan Bawcom, Brandon Hicks, Zach Walters Will Venable, and Shawn Zarraga.
As of Tuesday, Minor Leaguers were free to sign with any organization. Although none are top prospects in the organization, re-signing some of the players for depth purposes is key.
