    https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-changes-rules-for-international-signings/ The first major change listed above reverses a rule from 2014 that limited how much players could enter team facilities.

    You guys have probably already detailed this, but have the Cubs already spent this, and everything else? Or based on your tracking of the big-ticket spendings, does this $300K plus some other unspent $$ perhaps give the Cubs some discretionary cash to still get some guy(s), whether serrano himself or somebody else? Also, what has been the timing on all of this? I assume BA is reporting it now, but mlb and the Cubs knew about this before July, so that the Cubs had already factored the $300K into signings they have already made? I'm guessing the Cubs knew about this a while ago because Arizona Phil reported it on June 19th. Based on the 5 names and bonuses that have been reported, the Cubs still have $683,500 unspent (this includes the rollover $300k).

    If you sign Harper (or Machado), you can trade some combination of cost controlled cheaper position players (Almora, Bote, Happ, Russell, etc.) for pitching. The pitching free agency market is both expensive and injury prone so I think you're better off spending your funds on the more safe position players and trying to acquire cheaper pitching.

    Badler has the details on Serrano: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/how-the-cubs-lost-their-top-2017-international-prospect/ The summary: Most Mexican teams only give 25% of the signing bonus to the players but they're not limited to that. Tijuana actually gave Serrano 50% because he was a bigger name player. Since the Cubs were in the penalty box, they couldn't give a bonus at that amount (they were capped at $300k; Serrano signed for $1.2 million). MLB never approved Serrano's deal. The Cubs were not disciplined because they had no idea Tijuana gave Serrano $600k. In fact, MLB added $300k to the Cubs' pool for 2018-19 because of this. MLB found that Tijuana wasn't the only team that gave players more than was reported and that's why no Mexican League players aren't allowed to sign right now. Once Mexican League players are able to sign, the Cubs will still be eligible to sign Serrano if they so desire.

    I can't say I was prepared to see Cesar Izturis Jr's name for the opposing team in tonight's AZL Cubs 1 box score.

    He says he’s healthy and his velocity has looked good. His command has been garbage. Hopefully that’s just a mechanical issue and an easy fix. He doesn’t have the stuff to get away with throwing so many pitches over the heart of the plate.

    As davell mentioned, here’s what BA had on him midseason: 7. Keegan Thompson, RHP Double-A Tennessee Age: 23 Thompson has zoomed to Double-A just a year after the Cubs made him their third-round pick out of Auburn. Thompson’s fastball sits in the low 90s, and the Cubs are working with him to add more movement to his two-seam fastball. Both his curveball and slider flash above-average, but need more consistency. The Cubs are focused on getting him to induce more grounders as he moves up the ladder.

    Coghlan hit a home run again today for Iowa. On the 2-year anniversary of the time he called for time, wasn't granted time, stepped back in the box and smacked a 2-run single against the Cardinals.

    This has been my problem with Short this season. He went from a guy who - at worst - walked and struck out at about the same rate to someone who strikes out way more than he walks and hasn't had that big a power increase to offset it.

    Bryant said today he still had no idea when he would play or begin a rehab assignment. But he also took swings yesterday for the first time, so it was actually a good day:
