Another Cuban super-prospect. At this point the White Sox have to be considered among the favourites (if not the outright favourite) for each of these guys coming out of Cuba. He has a very intriguing profile. It may not play well, but it is definitely incites a lot of excitement. |

Team affectionately known locally as "Los Blancos". Trump Tower Field and Casino |

Sox have a guy name Burger on their 40 man. Now going after a guy named Colas. All they need is a "Beer" or a "Pizza" and they are set for sponsorships. |

1st thing is, the Sox need to stop trading away international money. |

I struggle to keep up with MLB's constantly changing rules regarding the international pool but my current understanding is individual signings are hard-capped at $2.3m. I could be way wrong. Either way this guy is not at the level Robert or Moncada were at. He's a bit of a novelty because of the two-way "Ohtani" nature of his game, but he's only played in Japanese minor leagues. Still the Sox love their Cubans and the Cubans love their Sox, so there is certainly some level of mutual interest |

My guy told me he's going to take less money to sign worth the Cubs. |

It would be surprise if the Sox do not land Colas. |

Looks like they've got a deal for Norge Vera's kid in place. |

He isn't even that hot of a prospect and resembles more of a Viciedo. I've never seen him but this is just doing some additional research. |

My expectations are low, I know he isn't gonna be a Robert type player. If he makes the majors, I would be happy. |

It's worth it to sign him to keep the relationship positive for the next real stud from Cuba. |
