So are we able to sign any IFA even if they haven't signed? as long as they are eligible?
I don't think it's allowed in the
rules based on this statement:
"All signings will begin in July and any player signed from July of one year until June of the next year will be eligible to be signed as soon as they sign with an MLB organization."
I think the confusion with Ibanez happened when there were so many rumors saying he was about to sign with a team, but it just never happened.
