Good morning. The days are getting shorter now, you know.
- Jeff Passan reported late last night that MLB has banned all player signings out of the Mexican League (LMB) just ahead of the July 2 date for the opening of international signings. Passan quotes that MLB believes that LMB is full of “fraud” and “corruption” and that MLB is going to insist upon a system similar to what MLB has with the Japanese NPB and the Korean KBO. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this is a huge story, but it’s a huge story.
