Last international free agent signing period, the Tampa Bay Rays made quite a splash, signing No. 1 prospect Adrian Rondon and other notable prospects like lefty Francisco Sanchez and outfielder Jesus Sanchez.

The Rays were still given an allotment of money to sign international free agents, and they can trade portions of that money to other teams.
