What about Gustavo Cabrera from the isles of the Dominican Republic?

Anytime you have the chance to sign the president of Uruguay to a contract, you do it.

Hope the Jays are still in on Mujica. Also, love that they’re odds on favourite for Franklin Barreto.

Nice to actually see the Red Sox connected to some of the top international guys.

The rules governing amateur signings by MLB teams should restrict all teams from signing anyone under the age of 18, regardless of where they live. The practice of recruiting a 15 or 16-year olds into professional baseball, uprooting from their home environments, assigning them to places foreign to their life’s experience, just strikes me as a form of colonialism (slavery) that America and its professional sports franchises should not engage in. American high schoolers are not recruited into professional sports until their class has graduated. The same rules should apply to foreign talent.

Being taken away, paid millions to play your favorite pass time for a living, and made into a celebrity is pretty akin to slavery. You should join some civil rights protests to share your opinion.
