Perception is often just as much of a part of figuring out a player’s price tag than any other metric. A player that’s been hyped in the press can get more money than a similar player who’s toiling in relative obscurity.
Outside of Pittsburg and the NL Central, you rarely hear about Kang which is tragic because he’s been a star of one of the best teams in the majors. I don’t doubt Park will cost more but my guess is he won’t be on the scale of Abreu and Matsuzaka.

Worth noting that Park turns 30 next year. That seems like a tough age to be trying to adjust to a faster game in a new country. Still, some team will probably go out of its mind and offer him Abreu money.

Actually, the Marlins and Mets played a regular season series in Hiram Bithorn Stadium in June of 2010. Also, not sure why you chose Cespedes over Chapman as an “unknown” talent coming at a discount. First, Chapman arrived earlier and was really the first high profile Cuban player of the last ten years. Also, cespedes is a great player, but chapman is an ELITE player, and is earning much less than cespedes. In other words, chapman would have better proven your point.

The MlB would be wise to feature the Twins in a series in Puerto Rico. The reason is the Twins will likely have two young Puerto Ricans as key players on their team in Eddie Rosario and Jose Berrios.

Sorry bud, the Twins wont be as exciting to watch as the Bucs and Marlins.

I’d rather watch the Twins instead of the Marlins anytime Jose Fernandez isn’t pitching. Having said that, it makes more sense to see a series between the Pirates and Marlins played in Puerto Rico, but not necessarily because it’ll be more exciting.
