Mentioned this in the prospect thread but figure most don't go there and given its going to be topical and people probably wonder who the fuck these guys are why not make a topic for it.
So far I've heard the cubs connected to 4 names
Richard Gallardo - arguably the top starter in this class who's likely to get $800k
Joel Machado - top lefty pitcher in this class though he's more back end of the top 30 and not likely to be a "star" who's likely to get $400k
Jose Lopez - toolsy CF who's got a shot at 5 tools who's likely to get $1.5 mil
Rafael Morel - younger brother of a guy they signed 2 years ago. He's a SS but no word on likely cost. It wont be more than $1 mil I think.
Where this gets interesting is there's still a guy who's yet to verbally agree with a team out of cuba. That's Victor Victor Mesa(yes 2 victors). People compare him to Victor Robles. He's probably the highest rated guy in the last at the moment as a CF with great defense. Think i saw someone compare him to a better version of Almora.
As things stand, cubs can spend like $4.7 mil IIRC. They can trade for additional money up to close to $9 mil IIRC.
