September 14, 20187 yr Jokes aside I would like a serious explanation as to how this Victor Victor guy was named. I've seen plenty of weird things with Hispanic names but I've never seen a name straight up doubled up like that.
September 14, 20187 yr Rumors keep bringing up the Orioles as the top suitors for him. From MLBTR: the Orioles ($6.5MM), Marlins ($4.3MM), Rays ($3.6MM) and Dodgers ($2.78MM) as the teams with the most remaining money to spend.
September 14, 20187 yr Rumors keep bringing up the Orioles as the top suitors for him. Just because they have the most money I'd imagine.
September 14, 20187 yr Just because they have the most money I'd imagine. That’s often what matters in these.

September 15, 20187 yr Yeah but baltimore doesn't have an energy team OR cheerleaders.... or cuban food
September 19, 20187 yr Frisaro thinks we could sign both Mesa brothers... I hadn't even thought of that possibility. I don't think the chances of that are very high but it's not impossible and what a coup that would be for this rebuild I think.

I don't think the chances of that are very high but it's not impossible and what a coup that would be for this rebuild I think. Joe thinks a lot of things. I'll believe it when I see it. --- There was speculation at another forum that signing both could be a way of getting them more money - on paper give Victor Victor our top offer for this signing period, and then later sign his brother for another high figure.
September 22, 20187 yr V.V. would have a showcase for all 30 teams in the Dominican republic in the next month,so don't think he would signing any contract before that due to needs to showing some respect to that "showcase", but it's also weird to need this showcase because it's not like every team could increases their offers freely after this showcase due to the pool money limit.

Teams would prefer to use their own organization's evaluators in person before committing millions of dollars to any player. That's why the showcase is done. Its not like teams are gonna make their final decisions on these guys based off rumors, online articles, SportsCenter highlights, and YouTube videos alone. It's like buying a car... you may have seen the commercial and your coworker may have told u the car was great but you still go take the car for a test drive before purchasing it.

It's like buying a car... you may have seen the commercial and your coworker may have told u the car was great but you still go take the car for a test drive before purchasing it. My point was this is a showcase for a international prospect that needs the "limited pool money" to sign,so the showcase may meaningless to some teams with very low amount of that pool money…
September 22, 20187 yr Jokes aside I would like a serious explanation as to how this Victor Victor guy was named. I've seen plenty of weird things with Hispanic names but I've never seen a name straight up doubled up like that. Victor Victor is a Dominican artist who sang "Mesita de Noche" (bedside table) a bachata which became very popular in Cuba in late 80's and early 90's. Surely, father Victor Mesa, a flashy center fielder for Villa Clara at the time, considered this to name his son. There is a comparable case of another even more popular Mexican bolero and love songs singer Jose Jose. Known as "El Principe de la Canción", Jose Jose became popular in the island by the late 70's.

September 26, 20187 yr V.V. made this tweet and many O's fans feedback but only a few Marlins fans do this,I think it's time to show the unity of fans,and I made the feedback already.
September 27, 20187 yr Victor Victor's showcase for all 30 teams will be held at Marlins Park on Oct 5th.
