Important clarification on this: New rules restrict the relationships between MLB teams and their foreign counterparts. In other words, no more partnerships like the one Arizona had with Yokohama. But agreements between MLB and foreign leagues, like the posting system, remain.

@JeffPassan MLB acting like this stops tampering is hilarious
@JeffPassan With time, we will fully understand this rule
@JeffPassan @m_sheldon @CharlieG__ How does this affect the Reds academy in the Dominican Republic?
@JeffPassan Similar to the agreements between the NBA and European basketball leagues regarding the draft, I would assume?
@JeffPassan @Shawn_Spradling Any idea If this will affect @ABL teams? Rays/Heat, Phillies/Giants and Brewers/Bandits, among others, have provided really important developmental time to young players.
@JeffPassan What are the implications on limits on direct/indirect contact for events like the WBC? Does it preclude current mlb managers/employees from coaching? Or current mlb players from playing for coaches who hold roles in other leagues?
@JeffPassan Sounds like big market owners crying that smaller markets found a way around their cash.
@JeffPassan F Arizona. San Diego is a Sister City with Yokohama. Google it. I'll bet you like Ohtani on that.
