Someone explain this to me.
For those who don’t know, Stewart was the 8th overall pick in the 2018 draft out of high school. The Braves offered him less than slot value due to an injury so he didn’t sign. Went to a community college in hopes of being drafted this year. Instead, he signed with a Japanese team yesterday, 6 years/$7 million.
Here’s what I don’t understand. He’s not allowed to join Major League Baseball until he’s 25, which is conveniently the amount of time he would have been under Braves control had he signed with them. How in the **** can MLB ban him from playing in their league if he never even signed with a team?
No wonder Kyler Murray chose football
