International News, Rumor and Signing Thread

Lazarito was 14th on Fangraphs' ranking of int'l prospects. Based on his scouting reports, I always thought he was overrated - just seems like an athlete who is not necessarily a baseball player. Seems like teams worked him out and realized he wasn't what they thought he was.

Maitan alone takes up probably 80% of our pool, man.

The pool is around $5 million.

Maitan is rumored around $4 million.
Gutierrez is rumored around $3 million.
Severino around $2 million.
Contreras/Pena/Soto all in 7 figures.

That's like triple our pool already before penalties.

Yes. But not to the point of what was rumored. We can spend around 15 million. The six we are linked to won't cost 15 million.

See my edit. Even if the trio of Pena, Contreras and Soto are a million each, that's already up to $12 million.

Those numbers may not be true. But even so we were rumored to spend 30 million if I remember. We can spend around 17 to 18 million and stay below 30. There is room to get more.

I certainly hope there's more coming, because more is better, but that's ignoring our 6 figure bonuses that have been reported already and not including the pitcher we're battling with Cleveland for. I'll cross my fingers that we get more, but I wouldn't necessarily expect much.

Has anybody heard more about the Nats' 7 million dollar offer to Maitan? Hopefully it's not true.

Even if it is true, we better be upping his offer until he signs. No excuse to get outbid for Maitan unless he's getting paid well over 10-15 mil, period.

Source: Braves expected to sign No. 1 int'l prospect Kevin Maitan to a bonus in $4.7 million range. Will likely become official tomorrow.
 
The BS about the Nats pushing hard for him has been around for months, and theres been no proof its happening other than one writer from what I saw
