They are free agents, so I ASSUME that you don't have to use international money on them.   Just regular money, offering them more than what another team does.

Pretty sure teams will have to use money from their international bonus pools to sign these prospects. I'll try to find the article where I read that.

edit: Number5's got the source above.

No.

From MLBTR:

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/11/process-for-signing-prospects-stripped-from-braves.html

  • The players — who get to keep their original bonuses but cannot be represented by the agents that negotiated their original contracts — will be subject to international signing pool restrictions but are otherwise free to sign with any organization.
  • MLB teams will be allowed a fresh $200K of bonus pool space to work with to sign any of these prospects. They may elect to draw from either their current signing period pool allocation or that of the 2018-19 period (but not both).
  • All MLB teams but the Braves can sign the prospects between December 5th of this year and January 15th of the next. Any players that do not sign within that period will no longer be eligible to receive a signing bonus. The Braves are eligible to pursue any still-unsigned prospects (without a bonus offer) beginning on May 1, 2018.

Has Duquette traded away any of next year's international money?
