The Chicago White Sox officially announced the signing of Cuban star Luis Robert, in a press conference on Saturday. The outfielder was inked to a minor league deal that comes with a $26 million signing bonus.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports first broke news of a potential deal last Saturday. Other reporters quickly followed, adding the Sox and Robert had an agreement and were likely to sign the Cuban prospect to a deal between $25-$30 million. This came after an intense recruiting process that ended with the Sox and Cardinals being the front runners for the star.
