Cards Boost Bonuses in Latin America
By Derrick Goold / Birdland Blog - St Louis Post Dispatch


Quote:
On Wednesday, baseball’s lesser-covered free agent market opened and teams could begin signing Latin American players who are 16 or older. Over the past several years, the Cardinals, under the guidance of vice president Jeff Luhnow, have spent to create a facility in the Dominican Republic, plant a footprint in Venezuala and other South American countries, expand their scouting in the region, and recreate scouting and coaching staff especially for the area.

This week, they just spent on players.

Quote:
The Cardinals have agreed to deals in principle with six Latin American players, three of whom will receive bonuses of more than the club’s record. Each is in excess of $500,000.
