Owners proposed the international draft in the last CBA, but the players balked. The Dominican contingent believed the international draft would have impacted the existence of buscones, these guys in the DR who train amateur players and give them some financial assistance. The buscones take about a quarter of the players' signing bonus in exchange and represent the players in conversations with scouts.
