We should look south for some baseball players. Specifically,Venezuela. Claims we could save a ton of nil because the kids down there just want to play and get to the dance eventually. Or if they flame out, they are still in Merica

I’d rather see the college athletics landscape continue on its path of deterioration than do that.
I thought it was the Dominican that is known to price big leaguers. Not that Venezuela doesn’t, just haven’t heard that before.
I like the idea, but I think the biggest hurdle will be academic eligibility. There are Very different academic standards between US high schools and much of rural central/South America. Of course, academics don’t really matter anymore, so who knows
Japan, I’d start contacting their baseball academies.
This is the right answer if we’re going international.
Somewhere, they are waiting for la llamada
We’ve absolutely
the bed as a country, civilization, and species…
If you haven't seen what a Chilean left fielder can do well then buddy I don't what to tell ya.
Extremely difficult to get South/Central American high schoolers eligible. Would have to get them here for a year at a prep school.
Japan and South Korea are where this idea can matriculate.
Inserts Bad News Bears quote that likely gets me banned.
ACADEMICS?!?!?!
You mean these now hired “employees” and we have to worry about academics?!?
WTF?!??

Anyone from Venezuela or the Dominican Republic good enough to play on our team would have already signed a pro contract before turning 18.
There may be opportunities in Japan or South Korea if we wanted to go that route, as they could play here 3 years and then go straight to the MLB Draft, bypassing NPB/KBO altogether, if that's something they're interested in.

Didn’t he pitch against us Sunday?
I've never heard MLB called the dance before, and I suspect I never will again.
How have you never heard it called that? There's a whole song about it, for petes sakes!
