May 5, 20169 yr Jason Benetti @jasonbenetti 5m5 minutes ago Hey, join us for @whitesox baseball on @CSNChicago plus. 7:10 series finale. @MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred joins us in the 3rd.
May 6, 20169 yr Author Manfred flat out said they want to see more equity in the international markets, and talked directly about how fair the draft was for that.
May 6, 20169 yr I wonder what the behind the scenes politics is regarding international players. There has to be factions lining up.

To me it seems like something easy for the players union to concede on, and trade for something else in negotiations. None of those kids are union members, and won't be for the better part of a decade, if ever.

For everyone else, cheaper talent is going to trump. It is why we have the draft and six years of player ownership before free agency.
