Reds To Sign Cuban Shortstop Jose Israel Garcia 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 7, 2017 12:02 pm

The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to sign Cuban shortstop Jose Israel Garcia.

Garcia, who is subject to international bonus pools due to both his age and lack of professional experience, will receive a bonus of roughly $5 million on his Minor League deal.

Cincinnati has already exceeded their league-allotted international signing pool, they'll pay a 100 percent luxury tax on the signing.
