I actually immediately thought of this. I felt a little bad about thinking about it, too. In the grand scheme of things going on, it seems a little shallow to think about baseball. Even then, it's worth considering what MLB means to Venezuelan boys and men looking to get what would be a completely life altering opportunity through a signing. It's a complicated issue even though it seems like it shouldn't be.
I would think MLB teams have local scouts with feet on the ground. There is already a do not travel advisory for Venezuela in place since March 2019. I don't think MLB teams will be heavily impacted in a direct way.
