Like Chris Davis watching a fastball down the middle for strike three, the Orioles have struck out again. Despite having an available international amateur bonus pool that was millions of dollars higher than any other team had left, the O’s have failed to sign the last remaining prospect of note, teenage Cuban righty Sandy Gaston. Jorge Ebro of the Spanish language paper El Nuevo Herald was the first to report on the signing.
According to Ebro, Gaston has reached an agreement with the Rays that will pay him a signing bonus of $2.
