He's free to sign with a team. I'm guessing Yankees. $100M all in. |

Yikes. they played the Cub game this year, thought i had read. Saving up all the bonus monies, they'll take the hit next year. Not sure if the Red Sox did the same, they had signed Castillo |

Rusney Castillo didn't count against the international spending rules. Neither did Yasmany Tomas with the D'Bags. The Cubs and Rangers can't sign Moncada before July 2nd because they overspent in 2013. The Yankees , Rays and Angels (not sure if there are any other teams) have already overspent this year so they have to sign him before July 2nd. It's a fucked up system that will be changed during the next collective bargaining meeting. |

That MLB are such sticklers for rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Players who present sworn affidavits to Major League Baseball stating they are residents of another country, have no intention of returning to Cuba and are not Cuban government officials can sign with major league teams immediately, sources said. MLB distributed a memo to teams Tuesday afternoon outlining the changes. Previously, the league required a specific unblocking license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Recent changes in the government’s policy regarding Cuba prompted OFAC to no longer issue specific licenses in cases where the person fulfilled the criteria for a general unblocking license – such as permanent residency in a third country. |

Quote: Cuban super prospect Yoan Moncada will get his huge deal, but it’s not coming from the Dodgers or the Yankees. According to Jesse Sanchez, Moncada will get a bonus around $30 million from the Boston Red Sox, who will then have to pay a dollar for dollar overage penalty. That makes the total commitment for Moncada in excess of $60 million (pending the final deal), which is a huge amount to drop on a 19-year-old prospect. Not the $80M people were predicting. Still an absurd number given he'll go through standard 3-4 years of arb too. |

$63M all in though the Dodgers offered $70M all in with the caveat that he wait till July 2nd to sign. I think teams realized he's not a SS so it dropped his price. I'm still really surprised the Yankees were outbid. |
