"Cuban infield prospect Yoan Moncada is on the verge of making history. Moncada's deal with the Red Sox that features a $31.5 million signing bonus – a figure that smashes the $8.27 million bonus record for an international amateur under the current signing guidelines, which was given to right-hander Yoan Lopez by the D-backs in January – is being finalized. Moncada's talent is rare and his skill set is unique. However, the teenager is also operating under the same rules of a first-year Minor League contract that governs all players subject to the international signing guidelines. In that way, Moncada is just like everyone else." - Sanchez, Jesse. MLB Staff Writer. Breaking down Moncada's contract with Red Sox. 24 February 2015.
