MLB and the MLBPA are in negotiations to institute an international draft.

The March 10 agreement that ended the 99-day lockout set a July 25 deadline for the union to agree to the draft. Without an agreement, direct draft-pick compensation and the qualifying offer system would remain for major league free agents. That structure has inhibited the market for some players, such as pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel in 2019.

So once again, major league players will throw amateurs under the bus for a little more money. An international draft will lead to fewer foreign players, since they will no longer be a cost effective means of acquiring players. Why run an academy if there is no guarantee you will get the players?

The MLBPA should be trying to eliminate the draft altogether, and I hope they wind up rejecting this proposal.
