Kenny Acuña, brother of Ronald and Luisangel Acuña, has verbally agreed to join #Phillies and wouldn't be eligible to formally sign until international free agent class in January 2028.(via Guillermo Arcay / IG)

Phillies have a 'verbal' agreement with Ronald Acuna's brother Kenny (he has another brother who is a Mets prospect).

Oh. Kenny Acuna is like 12 years old. He can't actually sign with an MLB team until January of 2028.

That's cool, I guess.

WHAT

That would be like going to the Little League World Series and offering the best kid there a 7 figure contract. It’s ridiculous. (I’m going to guess it took a million+ to get a 12 year old to not negotiate with other teams.)

He looks huge btw.

You literally just made the (correct) point that baseball contracts are predatory

And then this comes out like 3 days later lol

It's why Jhailyn Ortiz got more money than Vlad Jr, Juan Soto, and Tatis Jr. I'm sure the Phillies, the day he signed, didn't think he'd be better than all of those guys. But they had to make a $4 million commitment before he had hair on his nuts.

With the Phillies luck I fully expect the next Acuna brother to be a star and the MLB will implement the international draft before he can sign with the Phillies.

Making more at 12 than Ronald Jr at 17 by an order of magnitude.

Speaking of slopes? Do you have time to talk about how Michael Rubin got started in his career?

Forgive the intrusion but since I don't really follow baseball much, I thought some may be of interest to know that Jayson Werth owns a horse that could be the leading contender for the Kentucky Derby this year. The horse won a race in Florida today.

Before the race...


The race....

I like how he ‘did what he was told’ as a business owner, who interpreted that as being something different than not putting forth the best product possible.
