Cubs 2015-16 International Signings

The Cubs have signed 26 International Free-Agents (IFA) since the start of the 2015-16 International Signing Period (ISP) that began on July 2nd. The 2015-16 ISP concludes on June 15th.

The 26 IFA are from six different countries, including ten from the Dominican Republic, six from Mexico, six from Venezuela, two from Panama, one from Colombia, and one from Korea (ROK).

It's notable that Cubs have signed as many 2015-16 IFA out of Mexico as they have out of Venezuela, as the Cubs continue to increase their scouting presence in Mexico. (The Cubs signed three players out of Mexico in the 2014-15 ISP--RHP Jesus Camargo, RHP Hector Garcia, and 2B Carlos Sepulveda--aftrer signing only three players out of Mexico in the previous five years).
