It’s official: Víctor Víctor Mesa and Víctor Mesa Jr. are the newest members of the Miami Marlins. In what is Derek Jeter’s biggest win as an owner, he signed two of the top international free agents.
Víctor Víctor receives a $5.25 million bonus and Víctor Jr. signed for $1 million, effectively using all of the Marlins international bonus pool. Considering the cost of typical major league free agents, this is a bargain.
Signing Víctor Víctor Mesa and Víctor Mesa Jr. ($6.25M total) costs less than Junichi Tazawa’s 2018 salary ($7M)

As a result, the Marlins don’t have enough money to sign right-hander Sandy Gastón.
