Don't worry. Brady's on the case. He's listening to a Rosetta Stone Spanish 101 podcast on his bike commute home from the Warehouse and will soon be washing down his plate of ropa vieja with Skinny Girl mojitos. No word yet on if he's willing to convert to communism, but he's got this!

Lol. Is Brady already running hills with this guy? He's going to come into Sarasota in unbelievable shape, the best ever.

For what it’s worth this is from MLB.com, not sure if it’s accurate:

The Orioles, who came up short in their pursuit of Cuban outfielders Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr. and Cuban pitcher Sandy Gaston, still have close to $6 million in bonus pool money to spend on international prospects -- the most money in baseball -- and the Cardinals (estimated $1.85 million left to spend) and Dodgers ($1.4 million) are next. The Phillies have close to $1 million remaining while the Cubs, Rangers and Red Sox follow with bonus pools in the $700,000-$850,000 range.

If that is accurate and Elias is allowed to spend than the O's can sign Sanchez and a couple of the Dodger players if they are allowed to be free agents.

Oh my...can we lock all threads on this guy until he signs (when he signs with someone else)?

I can see it now...185 page thread..someone will trade for more slot money. He chose a team closer to home or a bigger Cuban fan base.

Good share.  

I'd much rather the O's spend the money on him than pocket it.  Do you think he'd play in the bigs in 2019?

What was the name of that Mexican catcher, he's a teenager? There as something about not being able to sign bc the Mexican League owns his rights?  Any chance he could become available again?

Fernando Villalobos and I don’t know.
