It's just impossible after the Dodgers signing the No.1 prospect quickly in the first day…

 

and Giants signed #2 so whats your point?

 

 

Any other news? Why arent we making noise? We trade major assets for prospects but we cant sign any good prospects outright? This is so Marins.

When exactly does Victor Victor Mesa become eligible to be signed?? Next offseason??

 

 

 

Because of their age and experience, the Mesa brothers are subject to the international-signing guidelines. It is unclear when they will become eligible to sign. They first must establish residency outside of Cuba and the United States and then petition for free agency. And while they are expected to sign during the current period that started July 2 and ends June 15, 2019, it's unknown which stage of the process they are in.

 

There's a chance one or both could sign during the period that starts July 2, 2019, if they are not cleared or if they chose to wait. If they don't sign until the next signing period, that would change that scope of potential suitors, as there are many teams that have spent most of their bonus pool allotment for the current signing period, but will have a full pool come next July 2.

Could it have something to do with USA/Cuba relations?

 

It's possible - I thought the embargo was lifted, though? I suppose that doesn't affect baseball players ...

Sandy Gaston tested + for PED?

 

So the MLB would do the PED test to every IFA before they signing with MLB teams ? if so then what would happen to the players after failed to pass the test ? would they got suspended ?

Probably has something to do with the immigration policy not the embargo.  Obama ended wet foot dry foot right before he left office. The way we traditionally think of Cuban ballplayers making their way here isn’t the way it will be going forward.

Ah, I see. Hmm.

I'm sure it's the same as any Cuban wanting to work for a US based and located Company..... impossible.

 

As far as I know the embargo was lifted only for trade and travel restrictions only.

 

 

The USA stands up at the podium:

 

I, did not, have, sexual, relations, with that country!
