Cubs have deal with Taiwan right-hander Tseng
http://ppt.cc/uYpQ
The Cubs have been busy on the international market this year and have
completed a deal with another top prospect, right-hander Jen-Ho Tseng from
Taiwan, according to an industry source.
Tseng, ranked No. 29 on MLB.com's list of Top 30 International Prospects,
commanded a bonus of $1.625 million. The Cubs have not yet announced the
signing.
Tseng, 18, is a known commodity in the international baseball world and was
being pursued by several teams, including the Twins. The teenager is known
for his upright, quick delivery and a fastball that can reach 95 mph. Poised
and aggressive, Tseng also throws a curveball and slider.
He also has a history on the big stage.
A member of the 2012 World Junior Championship team, Tseng also played in the
2012 Asian Baseball Championship for Chinese Taipei. He was the youngest
player named to the Chinese Taipei World Baseball Classic roster earlier this
year.
Prior to Tseng's signing, the Cubs had committed $3,470,000 of their
$5,520,300 bonus pool to four players: shortstop Gleyber Torres, the top
player from Venezuela and third-ranked international prospect, for $1.7
million; and Colombia right-handed pitcher Erling Moreno, ranked No. 17, for
$650,000. The club also signed right-handed pitcher Jefferson Mejia for
$850,000 and added catching prospect Johan Matos for $270,000.
The Cubs have a $2.8 million agreement in place with outfield prospect Eloy
Jimenez, ranked No. 1, which puts them $749,700 -- or 13.6 percent -- over
their pool and into the penalty phase. Teams that exceed the pools by 10 to
15 percent are not allowed to sign a player for more than $500,000 during the
2014-15 signing period and have to pay a 100-percent tax on the pool overage.
In the most severe penalty, teams that exceed the pool by 15 percent or more
are not allowed to sign a player for more than $250,000 during the next
signing period in addition to paying a 100-percent tax on the pool overage.
The Cubs can still acquire $1,315,600 in slot money because the Collective
Bargaining Agreement allows teams to add up to 50 percent of the initial
bonus pool, which in Chicago's case was $4,557,200, but that wouldn't be
enough money to keep the Cubs out of the most severe penalty.
Earlier this month, the Cubs acquired four signing-bonus slots -- two from
the Orioles and two from the Astros -- in trades worth $963,000 on the first
day of the international signing period.
