Infielder Hector Olivera and pitcher Pablo Fernandez have received visas that will allow them to come to the United States. Both agreed to terms with the Dodgers weeks ago, but Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman preferred they take their physicals in the U.S.
Their contracts should become official once they pass, and that could happen within the week.
Olivera agreed to terms on a six-year, $62.5 million deal in March. The Dodgers signed Fernandez to an $8 million minor-league contract.
