Cuban 5-Tooler Yoan Moncada Cleared to Sign With a Team

[WCTYSON]

I'm expecting, at the least, $80mm (40+40).

Over how many years? Does he have to sign for at least a certain amount of years?

I wish there was a more equitable way of signing these international prospects. Milwaukee can work him out all they want, but as long as the large-market teams can spend with impungity, then the small-market teams don't stand a chance.

As far as I know, Moncada is getting a signing bonus, not a contract.

Not with that attitude!

That makes sense, thanks fellas.

Lol. As a Yankee fan I'm pleased they spend the money they make on us, but I can sympathize with small market teams as well. But I refuse to feel bad for teams like the Royals and Marlins, owned by some of the richest men in America. Gotta spend money to make money.
