July 2nd is Int'l Signing Day

Not quite as hyped as Draft Day, but a big day in the future life of a franchise (maybe) but with an even bigger margin for error and also now with its own spending cap system.

Additionally, as per the horse's mouth, Dominican 2B Franklin Correa and Venezuelan SS Miguel Patino (terms unknown).
Now THAT's a scouting report. Bats AND throws right-handed? Well, sign me up!

Keith Law wrote a short piece on the 6 biggest international signings, here what he says on Rosario (after cautioning that he doesn't scout internationally himself so this info is all from sources)

Well, it's exploitation because they have their marketability artificially limited by bogus regulations that should be thrown out by a court. But it's untrue that most end up in menial stateside jobs or necessarily stick in the US past baseball. Many who don't flourish will remain in the minors for years, well past 30 --- including the indy leagues.
