Yasmany Tomas Rumors: Tuesday

By Steve Adams | September 23, 2014 at 7:47pm CDT

Yasmany Tomas continues to await the day when Major League Baseball declares him a free agent, but teams have already gotten a first-hand look at him via a showcase in the Dominican Republic this past weekend. Since that time, he’s already been connected to the Pirates (in more of a due diligence fashion) and held a private workout with the Phillies.

Here’s more on the soon-to-be 24-year-old Cuban masher…

  • Tomas was clocked with a 6.9-second 60-yard dash, Badler tweets. That is a surprisingly solid mark given his burly frame, Badler suggests.

Earlier Updates

  • The Rangers will have a private workout for Tomas on Wednesday, a source tells Ben Badler of Baseball America. The Rangers and Phillies both had strong contingents at Tomas’ showcase, Badler continues, while the Mets, Giants, Yankees, D’Backs and Padres were well-represented also. Among the Padres executives in attendance was new general manager A.J. Preller, according to Badler.
  • The Phillies were impressed with Tomas after his workout for the team, reports MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki. Philadelphia also held a private workout for Rusney Castillo prior to his signing with the Red Sox, but a source tells Zolecki that the team was just “lukewarm” on Castillo following that effort, and the club has “always” preferred Tomas to Castillo.
  • The Marlins had a pair of executives in attendance for the showcase, reports MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro. Director of international operations Albert Gonzalez and vice president of player personnel Craig Weissman both flew to the Dominican Republic to get a first-hand look at Tomas.

    This guy needs to be the Giants starting left fielder next year.

      The Giants definitely have the money too. If we want to win the west next year, we need to make some moves, this would be a good one, he is young and plays a position that we need.
      Even if we make this move, we would still need to make more. We need to reload the already weak farm. Panik, Susac and Brown are probably going to be up next year, those are 3 of our 5 best position prospects. Maybe sign an international prospect or two, and maybe make a trade.

    The fact that the Phillies have high impressions of him scares me.

      Scare you into what? That he’s a scrub because of it or because then they won’t sign him?

      I’m feeling it’ll be more that they don’t get him.

      I hope I’m wrong because he sounds like just what they need.

        I think he’s saying the first part, that he thinks he is a scrub because of it.

    he’ll be going to the Padres…watch, and see. It’ll be a shock, but it’ll happen.

      New GM’s way of putting his brand on them?

        Preller has made it a point of emphasis to develop the Padres organization internationally. Unless the owners can pull together the money I don’t think we can give Tomas the $$$ he wants right now.

          we keep hearing about all the money he might get?….think. about it. Puig got 45 million….Abreu, got 70 million…Chapman, got 40 million…Cespedes, got a little more than Chapman. Castillo, got 70 million.

          I dont see Tomas getting 2 to 3 times more than all of those guys. And I think new ownership is finally prepared to do, 60-75 million for a Cuban superstar.

    Has anyone seen any notes/comments/impressions from his workout on Sunday?

    I have a feeling the Padres entire starting outfield will be overhauled and Yasmani Tomas is the key first piece to begin the changes that need to be made… Quentin, Maybin & Venable are done….
