If you are unsure about a guy who is not listed here, please post. If you would rather keep the name of that player confidential, you may PM a TAB member and they will research the player.

If we made a mistake and there is a guy listed that is already part of a team (ML or MiL), please let us know. We are only human and mistakes happen.

IFA/NDFA Ownership Requirement

The ownership of all international free agents (IFA) and non drafted free agents (NDFA), with the exception of those IFA or NDFA that are subjected to free agency will be determined on the date that player makes his professional debut in the minors or majors, whichever comes first. Any IFA or NDFA that has yet to make his professional debut will not be considered owned by any organization and may not be traded nor be part of any transaction.

Upon a player making his professional debut, the ownership of that prospect will be automatically established by the following method:

All IFA and NDFA whose contracts have not been voided by the time they make their professional debuts, will be determined to be owned by the organization whose MLB parent team originally signed the player. Ownership will not be affected by any MLB trades or waivers or releases or any other MLB transactions other than the voiding of the contract.

When an IFA or NDFA has his contract voided, that contract will not be considered in the determination of ownership. Only non-voided contracts will be considered in the determination of ownership. At the time the debut of an IFA or NDFA, the first non-voided contract signed will be looked at in determining ownership.

If an IFA or NDFA should make his professional debut and later have his contract voided somehow, the voiding will have taken place after the establishment of ownership and will not change the ownership determination that was established on the date of that player's professional debut.

This rule will govern all IFA and NDFA contracts signed on and after July 2, 2020 unless this rule is later modified or superseded by another rule change. IFA and NDFA that signed prior to July 2, 2020 will be governed by the current administrative policy which is to award ownership to the original signing team regardless of any contract voiding.

Please note, that any errors made in the determination of eligibility by the TAB or other administrators in any transaction will not change the ownership of the players in question. Voided contracts missed by the TAB or other administrators will be treated in the same manner as any other TAB/Admin mistake with regard to ownership of any player. Corrective action will be taken on a case-by-case basis, especially with regard to unowned players that have been traded.


-----------------------------------------------

This means that 2020 IFA/UDFA are not eligible in the 2020 Contraction Draft.

An example of a player as to why we are including this clarification for IFA is Miguel Tejeda Jr. He was originally signed by White Sox but his contract was voided and he ended up signing with the Phillies. He is Phillies property.

But with the July 2, 2020 addition had he signed after that date we would wait until he plays in pro ball before determining ownership.

In the end it won't really effect many players ownership but could delay them being allowed to be traded for a bit. Its more about trying to prevent any future issues with ownership of players.

While the date would indicate that 2020 Undrafted Free Agents should be draftable here to keep things simple we are going to say that any 2020 IFA or 2020 UDFA is not elg to be picked THIS YEAR. I don't think any 2020 IFA were added to list but some 2020 UDFA were but they will be ineligible which I will mark.
