I don't really get the advantages of draft slotting and international signing caps in this new CBA.

It seems like it'll just push two sports guys in the draft into other sports if they have to deal with a slot system in baseball. Also gonna change a lot of stuff when it comes to high school signings. I imagine a lot more HS kids will be choosing other sports or going to college if they aren't getting big signing money. And also keeps international guys in their own country until they're over 23 (when they can apparently become free agents) if they want bigger money.

I dunno, all in all it just seems like its gonna thin the possible talent pool in the game.
