On July 2 the new international signing period began and teams have already started scooping up the top talent on the market. The Yankees dominated the headlines last year as they spent around $17 million and signed one-third of the top 30 prospects on the market. So far they have been quiet this year, unable to sign any players to a bonus of more than $300,000 because of spending penalties they will be subject to over the next two signing periods. Despite not having the resources to make another big splash, the Yankees can still find top talent on the market without having to spend a lot.
