MIAMI — Top international free agent Victor Victor Mesa and younger brother, Victor Jr., both outfielders from Cuba, have signed with the Miami Marlins.
The agreements were announced at a news conference Monday. The Mesas were recently declared free agents by Major League Baseball, and the Marlins had been widely viewed as front-runners to sign them.
Victor Victor Mesa recently posted an Instagram showing him and his brother sitting in the Marlins’ clubhouse holding a Cuban flag. Behind them were Marlins jerseys bearing their names.
Victor Mesa Jr. also posted an Instagram photo of himself with former Marlins All-Star third baseman Mike Lowell.
