LOS ANGELES — Major League Baseball and the Players Association sent out an executive summary of the new collective bargaining agreement that will run through 2021. Here is a closer look at the changes to the international market, in which the Dodgers will be limited.
The players were adamant that there would be no international draft added with the new deal, but in its place came a hard cap each year that will restrict bonuses for amateur players.
Starting with the next international signing period, that runs July 2, 2017 through June 15, 2018, each team will be capped from between $4.
