Because international players don’t have D1 programs they can fallback on if they don’t get a decent offer from a team. “Let me go to college for 3 years and they’ll see me” we don’t have that down here.
The MLBPA rejected the league's three offers on an international draft resolution and presented its own, a source tells ESPN.
The proposal: Remove qualifying offer this year. If parties can't agree to int'll draft by Nov. 15, QO returns and revert to previous int'l system.
