Some 10 year old hero keeps owning Puig.

"His mom calls him 'The Cardinal,'" Puig deadpanned. "We don't even know his name anymore. … I take him to the stadium, I put the tickets under my name, I introduce him to all of my teammates, and he shows up with a Cardinals shirt. He's driving me nuts. I can't win with him. His cousins all have [Dodgers gear]. Not him. We have to do something. I have to make him change his mind. We won the second game and that's it. He cried, and after that, he started laughing at us again."

He's an amateur so I don't believe that's how it works. You can give him a signing bonus(expected to be in the 30-40 million range) which then gets doubled or close to it because of the J2 budget restrictions, but once he takes it he's just another minor leaguer in your system, subject to rookie wages and the arbitration process and all that other poo poo.

It's gonna be funny if the winning offer comes from a team currently under international restrictions and he waits it out while people still write goofy MONCADA DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE MAKING UP HIS MIND, THE DEADLINE IS COMING, WHAT WILL THE YANKEES/RED SOXES DOOOOOOOO pieces until the signing period rolls over and he goes to whatever ineligible team gave him the best offer to begin with.

To be fair, black is one of their colors and the Pirates alternate shows how black can work as a jersey color but then again

In fairness that does seem to be the consistent stance of most of the anti-steroid-user-in-HOF people when you look at Gaylord Perry etc.

I think it's kind of a stupid stance but points for consistency I guess.

Random question, but did Trea Turner end up getting traded to the Nationals in the Wil Nyers trade or not? I thought he did, but I keep seeing him listed (Rotoworld, various top prospect lists, etc) as a Padre.

Yes, he was. Trea Turner was drafted last summer, so he was traded as a PTBNL, but they cannot formally send him over until a year has passed from his drafting.
