Jesse Sanchez is reporting that the Pittsburgh Pirates have an agreement in place with two top 30 international amateur free agents. Right-handed pitcher Jun-Seok Shim and outfielder Raymond Mola. I was able to confirm both players agreeing to deals back in September when Sanchez released his top 50 prospects list.
