The 2021-22 international signing period is currently scheduled to open on July 2. However, it may be pushed back to January 15, 2022, because of many factors, including the pandemic and challenges between MLB and MiLB.
On the latest big board of international prospects over at Baseball America (subscription required), the San Diego Padres are expected to add talent to their already-impressive ranks. The club has been linked to two names on the top 25 – Jarlin Susana, a right-hander out of the Dominican Republic ranked 17th, and a utilityman who could move between multiple spots, 25th ranked infielder/outfielder Yendry Rojas out of Cuba.
