February 7, 20197 yr Also, those saying can't believe the Phillies traded all this for only two years of JT don't understand that JT wants to play for a contender, he'll probably sign an extension with the Phillies in a heartbeat and they definitely have the money to offer him what he wants. Also the phillies keep JT away from the braves a big part of this
February 7, 20197 yr So Sixto is the best player the Jeter regime has ever acquired right? Finally got a big name back?
February 7, 20197 yr Also the phillies keep JT away from the braves a big part of this No not really, the Phillies and Braves play eachother 18 times this year, there's no way they can keep JT very far away from them.
February 7, 20197 yr So Sixto is the best player the Jeter regime has ever acquired right? Finally got a big name back? Brinson was top 25 before 2018 me thinks
February 7, 20197 yr I wonder if they have a target in IFA by acquiring money already this early in the year.
February 7, 20197 yr I wonder if they have a target in IFA by acquiring money already this early in the year. that's what I meant earlier, but i can't find a newer list of who is eligible..mlb still has last year's list up
February 7, 20197 yr I wonder if they have a target in IFA by acquiring money already this early in the year. I think it still applies to "last year's" total, no? --- There's that Cuban shortstop, Yolbert Sanchez I think is his name.
February 7, 20197 yr There's that Cuban shortstop, Yolbert Sanchez I think is his name. So he'd get current period IFA money or is it the new period? When did/does the period with Mesa in it end?
February 7, 20197 yr I think it still applies to "last year's" total, no? --- There's that Cuban shortstop, Yolbert Sanchez I think is his name. the only unclaimed player on last years top 30
February 7, 20197 yr So he'd get current period IFA money or is it the new period? When did/does the period with Mesa in it end? The period usually lasts a few days but definitely happens every month.
February 7, 20197 yr I think it still applies to "last year's" total, no? --- There's that Cuban shortstop, Yolbert Sanchez I think is his name. It'd be crazy creative if they got this guy immediately after this and essentially made Sanchez part of this trade return. What a nice move that would be.
February 7, 20197 yr I found this: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-international-signing-period-opens-july-2/c-283385580 An international player is eligible to sign with a Major League team between July 2 and June 15 of the following year if he is 17, or will turn 17 by the end of the first season of his contract. So if I'm understanding correctly, this international period last until June 15th?
February 7, 20197 yr I wonder if they have a target in IFA by acquiring money already this early in the year. its the same period and goes until I think june 30. aka they have to spend by then.
February 7, 20197 yr ISo if I'm understanding correctly, this international period last until June 15th? Seems so. And the pool money acquired today has to be used by then or lost I guess.
February 7, 20197 yr So he'd get current period IFA money or is it the new period? When did/does the period with Mesa in it end? depends on when he signs. there are theories that he will wait it out until july to sign as he can get more money. so we will see.
February 7, 20197 yr depends on when he signs. there are theories that he will wait it out until july to sign as he can get more money. so we will see. Today's pool money is just for this period though right
February 7, 20197 yr So have we had anything official yet, or still working out the last 1/2 pieces? Its done, team announced it.
February 7, 20197 yr http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/international-amateur-free-agency-bonus-pool-money Another article from MLB itself: Each year's international signing period begins July 2 and continues through June 15 of the following year. Under the CBA, international amateurs are defined as follows: • Player resides outside of the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico and has not been enrolled in high school in any of those locations within the past calendar year. • Player is at least 16 years of age or will turn 16 years of age prior to Sept. 1 of the current signing period. So yeah, maybe they have something lined up and needed a bit of extra money to finalize it?
