Two of the remaining players were signed after the season had ended and haven't played a game. It was way past time to move on from Paddy. It’s going to take a couple years to see Getz/Keller guys come in but damn, that’s dreadful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I mean the budget for the whole shebang. Scouting, bonuses, facility, etc. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are building a new Dominican facility so there is that. It is going to take a couple of years to see what changes or improves under Keller in the international department.

David Keller referenced finding impact talent that the club doesn't have access to in free agency as part of international strategy. They'll be going after kids. The biggest issue is that deals are basically signed through 2028 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the signings that was widely reported on January 15th - Roderick Medina 275k - was never confirmed. He pitched for St. Peter's HS (NY) this spring. Let's hope for better results than last year - 19 players signed, only 9 remain in the organization (9 released, 1 traded). Two of the remaining players were signed after the season had ended and haven't played a game. Signings are still being announced. All older guys who will have been cheap: P - Alexander Martinez (22yo) and Andy Peralta (18yo) C - Deury Ramos (19yo) and Erasmi Rodriguez (21yo) They also signed a 21 year old outfielder named Fidel Montero. He was previously signed by the Yankees in 2021, so I don't believe he counts against the spending cap. He hasn't played a game this season, so could well be a position change candidate (to pitcher).

oldsox Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM It's tough to get excited. The last few top international signings have not done very well. The latest was Alajandro Cruz. I don't understand the economics here. Has any team just walked away from the International Market, at as far as financing a team in the DSL?

No. It's the cheapest talent available. Eduardo Herrerra had a rough 1st year last season, and this season, he's OPSing .975, and will most probably graduate to the ACL next year. Frank Mieses is a 17-year-old CF OPSing .869. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
