We’ve signed another Latin player, Jesus Chavez. Dunno anything about him.

MLB.com updated some of our international signings in their database, so I was able to fill in ages, countries, and positions for them.

So from your list that's 16 international signings this off-season.  Do you have some basis for comparison to previous years?

Somebody is playing for our DSL team.    They’re not cloning those players, so they must have signed them.   Just taking a look at the players 19 and under on our DSL roster last year, I count 9 players who weren’t on the 2017 roster, 7 of whom were in their first year of pro ball (the other two had previously played for other teams).   There probably are some age 20+ guys as well.

They unpinned me but I’m still tracking through the roster cuts.

Thank you again for doing this, I love digging into the detail and trying to track every transaction.  Two quick questions:

1)  Tony's recently posted list of minor league spring training rosters lists a Marcos Molina, who looks to have played in the Mets system.  I didn't see him in the transactions.  Is this recent?  Did we pick him up as a minor league free agent?

2)  As best as I can tell every minor league player in a full season league last year is either on the spring roster or is covered in your transactions page (thanks again for the hard work), except one.  I can't find Jordan Kipper on Tony's roster and I don't see him being cut, retiring, having become a free agent, etc.  Am I missing something?  For example, maybe he's not on the spring training roster due to injury (e.g. I assume that's why Putzig wasn't listed).
