Cincinnati Reds links - Top Cuban prospect Luis Robert declared a free agent

The highest rated international prospect in the game of baseball was officially declared a free agent by Major League Baseball on Thursday morning, meaning it’s highly likely that toolsy OF Luis Robert will become a very rich human in the near future. FOX’s Ken Rosenthal broke the news this morning, and while the timing of the news breaking isn’t necessarily important, the timing of his free agency being confirmed by MLB certainly is.

You remember that the Cincinnati Reds blew past their international signing bonus pool within the last year to sign both Alfredo Rodriguez and Vladimir Gutierrez.
