MLB.com's Mark Feinsand believes the Los Angeles Dodgers will compete with the New York Yankees for the signature of 25-year-old Japanese superstar Munetaka Mur

Players become free agents the day after the conclusion of the World Series. But they can't sign with a new team until the fifth day after the World Series ends. That gives the player's current team a five-day window to try to keep their free agents, although a player's agent can talk to other teams.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions for the second year in a row following a thrilling seven-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays, capped off by an extra-inning thriller in Game 7.

Before L.A.'s late-inning comeback, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer walked off the field to a standing ovation, having fired 4 ⅓ innings of one-run ball. That performance will ultimately go down as a footnote.
