2022 MLB Draft thread, July 17- 19 - Jays select HS LHSP Brandon Barriera 23rd overall

[dagger]

Now that the draft and trade deadline are done, and MLB and the PA couldn’t agree on an international draft, is there a date when the veil is lifted on international signings?

International Amateur Free Agency & Bonus Pool Money

Definition

Under the terms of the 2022-26 Collective Bargaining Agreement, the current international amateur talent system will continue for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 signing periods.

As per the existing rules established in the 2017-21 Collective Bargaining Agreement, clubs are each subject to a spending cap for amateur international free agents. Each club will have at least a $4.75 million bonus pool to spend, with those that have a pick in Competitive Balance Round A receiving $5.25 million and those with a pick in Competitive Balance Round B receiving $5.75 million.

Clubs will be able to acquire up to 75 percent of their initial international bonus pool money in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 signing periods and up to 60 percent of their initial pools in subsequent signing periods. This means that a club with an initial pool of $5.75 million can increase its pool total via trade to approximately $10.1 million during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 signing periods. The 2017-21 CBA also allows international funds to be traded more freely, as teams must now simply trade international money in increments of $250,000, unless they have less than $250,000 remaining in their pool. Under the 2012-16 CBA, teams were assigned four tradeable "slots" with different values designated for each slot. The money was able to be traded only in those increments.

Beginning in the 2017-18 offseason, any team that is over the luxury tax threshold and signs a Major League free agent that has rejected a qualifying offer will lose $1 million from their international signing pool in the following signing period. A team that is not over the luxury tax would only forfeit $500,000 of its signing pool in the subsequent period.

The 2021-22 signing period continues through Dec. 15, 2022, and the 2022-23 signing period will run from Jan. 15, 2023 to Dec. 15, 2023.

MLB and the MLB Players Association have until July 25, 2022, to agree to the implementation of an annual International Draft, which would be held for the first time in 2024. If the International Draft is not agreed to, the remaining international signing periods of the 2022-26 Collective Bargaining Agreement would continue to operate on a Jan. 15 to Dec. 15 schedule, under the previous system established in the 2017-21 CBA.
