Royals Ink Nicaraguan Prospect
According to Dejan Kovacevic at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Royals have come to terms with Cheslor Cuthbert, a 3B prospect out of Nicaragua. The 16-year-old will sign for a bonus around $1.5 million.
Kovacevic reports that the Pirates had been in hot pursuit of Cuthbert for about two years and had been named as favorites to sign him. Rumors had swirled the past few days from ESPN's Jorge Arangure that the Royals had become the more likely destination.

By time this kid is big league ready, if that ever happens, Gordon will be in early-to-mid 30's. Mike Moustakas is playing 3rd as well...

Yeah, I'm sure Gordon was just chillin before, but now he's feeling a ton of pressure because KC just signed a 16 year old who won't be MLB ready until at least 5-6 years, if ever. Great point dude.
