MLB Delays Start Of 2020-21 International Signing Period To Jan. 15, 2021

Each summer, Major League Baseball teams have an ample amount of opportunities to replenish their farm system, beginning with the MLB Draft in June.

This year’s event had a much different look, as it was shortened to five rounds instead of the usual 40 due to financial losses brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Los Angeles Dodgers still managed to make six additions, including Louisville right-hander Bobby Miller, who was selected with the No. 29 overall pick in the first round.

After the MLB Draft concludes, the focus typically shifts to the start of the international signing period.
