SEATTLE — Michael Ynoa met Luis Robert earlier this year and he’s definitely impressed with the latest White Sox acquisition.
The reliever met the 19-year-old Cuban outfielder, who on Saturday reportedly signed a lucrative deal to join the White Sox, a few weeks before spring training when Robert arrived in the Dominican Republic. Robert — who will likely be the third-rated prospect in the White Sox farm system after he officially is announced — and Ynoa both share the same buscon, Edgar Mercedes. The two worked out together several times on the field and Ynoa said Robert looks the part.
