Cuban pitcher Yadier Alvarez's representatives are seeking a waiver that would allow him to sign with a Major League club before July 2.
A previous report indicated Alvarez would not be able to sign before July because international prospects born after September 1, 1995 must register with MLB before they could sign. Alvarez was not registered.
MLB can waive that requirement, though, for a player who has “a compelling justification for his failure to register.”
