southsider2k5 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/inte...ed-dodgers.html Commissioner Rob Manfred reiterated his support for an international talent draft when speaking to reporters (including Jesse Sanchez) on Monday, indicating that changes to the international system will be a significant topic in upcoming collective bargaining negotiations with the players’ union. These talks will be particularly interesting since the desire for altering international signing rules may vary greatly from team to team. “If you ask the teams that have been able to spend internationally, they would be happy with how [the system] is,” Athletics GM David Forst said. “There are also some teams that feel you lose some of the scouting side of it if you have the [international draft]. You lose the ability to unearth players. But with the information that is out there, I’m not sure that happens.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees and Cubs have spent a boatload on international scouting and are seeing (what I would consider) an unfair advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
