While the St. Louis Cardinals are currently relying on Aledmys Diaz at shortstop, there may be another option in Cuba. Lourdes Gourriel recently turned 23-years old and can now be signed by a Major League organization without it counting against the international spending limit.
A position for Gourriel, Jr. has not yet been determined as he could play infield or outfield, per Jesse Sanchez at MLB.com.
Gourriel Jr., who plays shortstop and outfield, was hitting .321 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs and a .924 OPS in 43 games for the Havana Industriales this season.
