Report: Cuban prospect Colas defects, looks for MLB team. MORE:
Outfielder/pitcher Oscar Colás, one of the best prospects to emerge from Cuba in years, has defected and will seek a deal with a major league team, sources familiar with his plans tell ESPN. Colás, 21, played in Japan last year and hit .302/.350/.516. He’s a LHP up to 95, too.While Colás could conceivably sign during this international signing period, it may make more sense for him to wait until this July when international bonus pools reset.
Passan notes that Colas, who is dubbed as one of the best prospects to emerge from Cuba in recent years, can join a team during this international signing period but may wait until July when international bonus pools reset. Most team have most of their money already committed and Colas should reap a significant bonus, tweets Passan. The 21-year-old has spent the past several seasons in Japan for the Japan Western League's Softbank Hawks.
