Disclaimer: If you think this is the official website of the New York Yankees, you're an idiot. Go away.
During the summer of 2014 the New York Yankees upended the market for international baseball free agents. Their bonus pool was $2,190,000. Instead of sticking to the limits, they spent more than $17,000,000 on international bonuses, with a final cost including overage taxes of over $30,000,000 plus bonus restrictions in 2015 and 2016.
What did they get for their money? Well let’s take a look.
Keep in mind that rookie ball and Latin American summer league performances are not especially predictive.
