Yes, I want to hear exact details but this is essentially hard slotting. @bgeary8: They're asinine in my extremely humble opinion. #mlbdraft

Purpose of #mlbdraft is reducing costs, not parity. @themanofseal: Are these rules an attempt at creating parity through the draft?

Overall money to be spent in draft and int'l FA in line with 2010 figures. CBA attempts to give advantage to bad teams via larger pools.

 

JeffPassan Jeff Passan

Worst teams, for example, will receive ~$5M in int'l $. Best teams will get ~$1.8M. Not sure on exact figures for draft, but similar %.

Draft signing deadline moves from Aug. 15 to between July 12 and 18.

If a player signs after the 10th round for more than $100,000, the excess money will go against a team's draft pool.

 

JeffPassan Jeff Passan

There will be six draft picks immediately after the first round given out via lottery to teams with 10 lowest revenues, 10 smallest markets.

From an MLB/MLBPA release: "A club’s odds of winning the lottery will be based on its prior season’s winning percentage."

Teams with the worst records get the most money to sign international players. Other teams can exceed limits, but lose rights in future yrs

"Participation in the All-Star Game will be required unless the player is unable to play due to injury or excused by commissioner."

The Great Gazoo helmet worn by David Wright a couple years ago is mandatory by 2013. And, MLB points out, "significantly less bulky."

All players subject to social media policy

International signing limits will go into effect next winter, so won't limit Cespedes bonus

Remember Theo's press conference with the Cubs? Remember about the big investment in scouting and development? Bye-bye.

 

That's a good point. Sucks for the Royals/Pirates/Jays who have been dumping money in the draft, but also hurts teams like the Red Sox, Rangers, and Cubs. The benefactors are largely the cheap-ass teams unwilling to spend on amateur talent.

You know how the Royals have a great system? They did that through spending big money on the draft. Strategy now basically illegal.

You know how the Rangers have a remarkable wealth of high-ceiling talent due to incredible international work? Strategy now illegal.

I feel like it reins it in on both sides of the spectrum.

 

It severely cripples teams like the Royals, Pirates, Jays, and Nationals. It's going to hurt them much more than teams like the Red Sox and Rangers. But otherwise yes, the teams in the middle will benefit from this.
