They’re trying to get the player the most money possible in a capped system. Blame U.S. tax laws more than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a complete waste of a developmental year. Think of it more as a trick to give players a MUCH bigger bonus. In the US they would lose something like 35 to 40% of their bonus for a tax check that big. In the Domincan they don't tax it due to a quirk in their tax laws. Think of it as if two teams offer you a $500k bonus, if you play in the DSL you get to keep $500k. If you play in AZ, you get to keep $300k. Which bonus do you take? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they also pay taxes in the DR and here which is an issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 21 jump street opportunity, basically out of baseball for two years, then going back to play in your high school as a bigger, stronger 20 year old lol. (I know he's likely played in backfields and stuff for the last two years and that DSL isn't high school etc etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 3 years older than Erick Hernandez, but just slightly older or the same age as a lot of the np types on the team. If he plays at Kanny next year, he'll be about average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 @Y2Jimmy0 I feel like in a fairly recent futuresox interview with Badler he implied sox DR facilities are behind compared to the rest. Didn't we just update those in 2017? Is this another comiskey park II situation where they updated something that was immediately out of date compared to the rest of the league?

Yeah I think they've been updated again. I think the building is just old honestly. I could ask around and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could ask around and see How much do you think that matters? I just feel like with so many important guys they've done the Tax strategy with, I'd want the training they receive top notch so they don't miss a beat. But I don't really care if building is old so long as they have good equipment/teachers. I'd be impressed if they had everything they have in AZ in DSL but I'm sure they do not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to imagine it isn't THAT big of a deal in terms of signings. Guys are going to be looking for the money, the people they connect with, the best relationships, and the team that seems to offer them the best path to the US and MLB. I have to imagine facilities are pretty far down the list for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could come at a cost of development if your DR training and facilities are garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
