Weird move

Does this mean we lose the poster, too?

I highly doubt Ventura will ever amount to anything. We must like someone really well on the international market.
Otani come on over
We are limited to 300K per signing bonus. So this is doubly weird.
I do think this signing period and the next will be an interesting experiment. I don't mind spreading our international funds among 20 or 30 players who are decent but not elite prospects. When they are that young that might not be a bad strategy. Of course we have no choice but to pursue that strategy.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
This must mean we plan on using up that international bonus pool which is good news.
I really liked Ventura. Sad to see him go.
We already have enough to buy 18 - 20 300 K guys next year.. very strange trade. I mean, Ventura was not going to play in Atl.. but why for int'll money.

They already planning on replacing Hamilton with someone who steals a hundred bases?
Forever Fredi
We have some depth at CF in the lower minors so I was expecting one of that to do. I thought it would be in a largeercdeal, but this may be a situation where we know some teams interested in bonus slot money
