Normally, MLB teams are allowed to begin signing international free-agent prospects in June of each year. However, as a favor to owners, commissioner Rob Manfred delayed the start of the 2020-21 signing period to January 15, 2021. With teams finally able to finalize signings, the SF Giants announced the addition of 34 prospects from around Latin America. These moves cost the bulk of the team’s allocated spending budget, but enough space remains to make further additions down the line.
