Major League Baseball has sent a warning to clubs about encouraging players subj
ect to the MLB draft to withdraw from high school baseball to become eligible to
sign as international players. An MLB spokesman declined comment.
The key section of the memo sent to teams Monday and obtained by ESPN reads: "It
has come to our attention that Clubs have been encouraging amateur players in t
he United States to withdraw from, or otherwise refrain from playing, high schoo
l baseball in the United States and/or Canada, in order to try to establish resi
dency in a foreign country, in an effort to make themselves eligible to sign und
er the International Amateur Talent System instead of the Rule 4 Draft."
A recent example of a legal version of this maneuver was made by shortstop Luciu
s Fox in 2015. He was a native of the Bahamas who had moved to Florida to play h
igh school baseball and was regarded as a fringe first-round prospect after his
junior year of high school. Fox moved back to the Bahamas and was declared a fre
e agent by the league in April 2015, eventually signing for $6 million with the
San Francisco Giants in July 2015.
