International signings can bring much joy.
Last January 15 the international signing period started. Normally this period starts in July and ends in June the following year, but due to the COVID pandemic the start date for the 2020 international signings period was shifted forward to January 15, 2021. As such, clubs will now be allowed to sign international amateurs till December 15, 2021. In 2022 the same period will be maintained.
During this time clubs can basically sign players that do not play on American soil, save those players that are draft eligible for the Korean and Japanese leagues. The majority of them comes from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
