The Mets just dropped a cool $5 million on 17-year-old shortstop Elian Peña. Is this a smart investment in young talent or an overspend on an unproven prospect? Where does this leave the Mets financially in terms of pursuing other talent? Peña is ranked No. 3, but what kind of pressure does a price tag like that put on a young player? Is he worth the hype?
With several teams holding back, seemingly for Roki Sasaki, is this a sign of a shifting strategy in international signings? Are we going to see more teams focusing their resources on a few elite prospects, or is this a unique situation? What impact will this have on the overall landscape of player development?
The international signing period is officially open, and with it comes a flurry of deals. Which team do you think made the best moves? Are there any under-the-radar signings that you think have the potential to be steals? This is just the beginning, so what other big moves do you predict will happen before the period closes? Are we on the verge of a new era of international talent acquisition in baseball?
