July 3, 20178 yr The signing of Luis Robert limited the Sox to a max of $300k per prospect for the new and following Intl amateur signing periods. But that doesn't mean they won't sign anyone - they still have millions to use. Here's a look at the two players reportedly signed by the White Sox. Likely there will be more reports coming, and the Sox may trade slots too, but for now that's two names to look at.

I was actually kinda amazed how many Venezuelans were in the class though. They may be signing cheap just to get the hell out.
