I just think it means teams are now able to sign him. MLB asked teams to hold off while they figured out the Cuba situation. He's still considered an international signing.

Dodgers/Red Sox/Yankees the main suitors that we know of. Sox farm is already stacked, Dodgers have 3 top 20 prospects....come on Arte, get this guy. Would fill a huge hole at either 2B or 3B for this org

 

Signing Baldoquin and that's it doesn't make much sense. Go all out during this signing period and get this guy please

@Buster_ESPN: Some other teams view the Dodgers as the strong favorite in the Yoan Moncada sweepstakes.

Surprise, surprise.

I wouldn't forget about the A's. They dealt their future Russell and Robertson and want a young core. I don't think A's believe in Sogard, and Semien and Lowrie could be risky. They have Zobrist, but I am pretty sure they are not expecting him to be their future. Also, I think they would be willing to spend the money. Don't count them out.

If I'm the Angels I pitch to Moncada that he and Baldoquin could form the first Cuban double-play partners on an American MLB team in the history of the game (I think). No language barriers and culturally they can both grow in the big leagues together. 

 

Oh yeah, #!@&$ the Dodgers and the Yankees.

Yup. I just don't get why they are so quiet on this considering the fact that they're pretty much toast in the international market the next 2 years once this signing period ends July 2. Dude also fills a huge hole for this team going forward at either 2B or 3B

I am guessing this might be a selling point if the difference between the Angels' offer and the best offer he received were less than six figures. Otherwise, I doubt he will care. For all we know, he doesn't even like Baldoquin.

To be fair, it's probably a good sign that we haven't heard about them going after Moncada. They probably won't get him, but they would be stupid to not at least make an attempt.

There is an expectation among some executives that Oakland will take a run at Yoan Moncada -- as they did with Yoenis Cespedes.

Damn, even the A's about to get in on this. Come on Angels

See?? I was right on que. Lots of A's fans miss Cespedes, so another reason why it makes sense. Makes way too much sense unfortunately
