Last week Rob Manfred dropped harsh penalties on the Atlanta Braves for their conduct in signing international free agents during the 2015-20 time period.
Bundling prospects is common place in the international free agent market, but John Coppolella received a lifetime ban for skirting around the rules in the 2015-16 signing period that allowed them to stay under the amount that would bar them from signing any prospect to a deal worth more than $300k for the next two signing periods.
The Boston Red Sox had contracts of five prospects voided and banned from signing any international free agents for one year after they attempted to bundle prospects to circumvent the $300k cap they could give to a prospect.
