Angels among early teams interested in Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

[KevinJ14]

Via JesseSanchezMLB:

Teenager Vlad Guerrero Jr. won't be able to sign until July 2 but sources say Angels, Mets & Blue Jays have already shown serious interest.

[Sherlock31]

July 2? 

 

Then it's hopeless, the Angels don't have enough money to sign him......................

[Angel Oracle]

That's the unfortunate part, that he can't sign until after June 30.

[laagamer]

We're SOL

[KevinJ14]

Wait why? I don't understand

Angels signed Roberto Baldoquin from Cuba for $8 million. Spending that much over the international cap threshold means a team can only offer players $250k contracts for the next 2 seasons.

Unless Vlad really likes the Angels organization and feels like his son doesn't need more than $250k the Angels won't be signing him.

My question is if they can sign Vlad to a front office position for a lot of money to make this happen.

Seems like that could be considered tampering.

They would be accused of colluding.   Now, if Vladdy Sr were to publicly sell his boy on the Angels and sign for the max they can offer him nobody can really say shit.   Vladdy Jr #? isn't the typical impoverished Dominican youth.

[Second Base]

Vladdy Jr. is going to blow someone's budget out if the water, but it won't be ours. We spent that on Baldoquin (and hopefully Moncada).

Isn't there about a half dozen Vlad Jr's running around?

Vlad has 8 kids by 5 different women. He pays $26k per month in child support.

[Stradling]

How and why do you know that?

I also could do that, I just can't see a reason too.

Nothing negative about it. He has the money and is taking care of his kids. Vlad gave us his money's worth too.

Noble Ale Works Vlady Sauce may or may not get one pregnant. Good beer though

Was he is competition with Shawn Kemp?

Let's just say they both like taking a swing at almost anything.

I guess they were both stiff competitors.

ha! I like how they list it ... " mistress number 1, mistress number 2..." It just goes to prove my theory - guys who are multimillionaires do well with the ladies

[stormngt]

That is a real tough theory to prove.

[Kenny]

Looks like the winner will be the Jays with $3.2 million.

It's a wonderful way of labeling them.  It's open ended (you can go into the hundreds and thousands), makes for an easy tatoo on each butt (#1, #2, #3, etc.), and best of all you can create an Excel worksheet keeping track of the payments to each one.  Also the kids can be 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C, etc.  Wow, what a system!

Nowadays they could use barcode or RFID systems for tracking. Maybe even implant a GPS tracking device.

i haven't followed any of this international signing stuff so excuse my ignorance.

 

how is little Vladdy unsignable yet Moncada isn't?
