Yasmany Tomas Rumors: Friday

By Steve Adams | November 14, 2014 at 12:51pm CDT

A report yesterday indicated that Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas would fly to the United States this weekend to meet with agent Jay Alou, and a deal could be close. However, Alou himself noted that Tomas will meet with four teams in the next 48 hours, suggesting that it may be too early to say they’re on the brink of signing. MLBTR’s own Tim Dierkes reported that three of the four clubs would be viewed by the public as “very unlikely” teams, so there are some dark horses at play. One could be the Giants, who Peter Gammons reported are interested in Tomas as a third baseman.

All that info is just from yesterday, and the link above has even more details. We’ll keep track of today’s Tomas rumors in this post…

  • MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez tweets that Tomas is spending his 24th birthday (which is today — happy birthday Yasmany!) in the Dominican Republic working out for the Royals at a number of positions, including center field.

Earlier Updates

  • The Royals saw Tomas just yesterday in the Dominican Republic, tweets Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star. While club officials remain doubtful that they’ll have the money to land him, the team is making an effort to sign Tomas, he adds.
  • The Twins have been listed as a team with interest and would certainly fit Tim’s dark horse label, but Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN tweeted yesterday that Minnesota isn’t close to anything with Tomas.

    He will not be as good as Puig, or Abreu.
    Tomas next year: .230-.250avg, 30hrs, .790OPS

          More based the fact that Puig and Abreu are All-Stars and we can’t have too many Cuban all-stars.

            If Jose Fernandez gets back to his 2013 form, he’s gonna be an All Star too. If Yasmani Tomas and Rusney Castillo both exceed expectations, you best believe that they’ll be All-Stars too.
            There is no such thing as too many Cuban All-Stars. All-Stars are chosen by a combination of how well that person is playing pre-All Star break /how popular they are, not their national origin. No one should feel threatened by the emergence of Cuban players who play good baseball, rather appreciate how good they are instead.

      790 OPS? Sounds good. Offense is way down. That’s an above average LF now.

    I’ve heard a source saying the Twins are about to sign him. Would certainly fit their need in LF.

    Last year at this time, Doogie reported the Twins had no major moves imminent the day before the team signed the biggest FA contract in the team history. Naturally, the Twins will sign Tomas tomorrow.
    Not sure I am entirely onboard with the Twins going after Tomas. On one hand, he’s a young intriguing prospect who fills a need but on the other the contract he might get is an enormous risk with not a ton of upside ( value wise) considering the cost.

    Love the latest update on the Royals. The fact that he is working out for them, with no other teams there, is a great thing. I figured that he would work out and let the four teams watch him. Loving the new Royals. I’m sure the rest of the league is not.
