During the winter of the 2016 offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays landed Cuban prospect Lourdes Gurriel Jr. virtually out of nowhere signing the then 23-year old to a 7 year/ $22 million dollar pact. At the time of the acquisition, Gurriel was ranked the 6th best International prospect.
The interesting tidbit of this deal is that the Gurriel family are lifelong friends with countryman Kendrys Morales. The veteran signed a three-year deal with the Blue Jays on November 16th, 2016 while the Gurriel agreement was announced on November 12th, 2016. Both players are also represented by the Wasserman Media Group.
