How about Cuban free agent Eddy Julio Martinez ?


Twins Video

Just a few days ago, it was reported that the Giants had agreed to terms with highly touted Cuban CF Eddy Julio Martinez. There's a lot of oddities to the saga, like this from MLB Rumors:

 

"One of the most talked-about and highly ranked free agents earlier in the summer, Martinez curiously went months with his name scarcely coming up in news and rumors before the agreement with the Giants was reported."

 

The signing bonus was supposed to reach $10M. The Giants supposedly signed him for $2.5M.

 

Do you think there's any interest from the Twins?

Twins would have no interest for him this year, because they do not have the international pool money available.  They spent it all, and would not go that far over because would tie hands next year for international players.  Also, being a CF, of which we have depth right now he does not fit in too well to current needs.

Many MLB teams are pretty much ignoring the "pool money", the Dodgers being the leader.  For the right player, who seems to be at a discount right now, I don't know why the Twins would ignore the opportunity.  I question the Twins depth in CF.  Hicks has made progress, but still on the edge.  At this point, Buxton hasn't proven his ability to hit.
