DV/SA/CA policy specifically for Dominican Summer League players. The DSL is the rookie-level affiliated league based in the Dominican Republic where MLB international amateur signees begin their professional careers. The separate policy reflects the distinct labor structure of DSL players, who as international amateur signees are not full participants in the MiLB CBA in the same way as U.S.-based affiliated minor leaguers.

Background

The existence of a DSL-specific DV policy reflects a structural question — DSL players are international amateur signees, not yet under MiLB Uniform Player Contracts. This separate framework is research-relevant for international labor structure, the relative lack of protection for DSL players generally, and the recurring abuse-of-power issues in DR-based academies.
