Doubtful but never know Do you share your paycheck with your siblings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in Latino communities (and generally poor countries like many African countries too) it is much more common to support your family when you get rich than in white American communities, often it even is expected.

I think in African American communities it is also quite common to support even your larger family (like aunts, cousins...) if you make a furtune while white people who get rich only tend to give their core family (kids, parents, brothers and sisters) something. Not sure if that is true though but I read some articles about NBA players supporting their families and even the neighborhoods they come from. I have a work colleague from Cameroon and he said that he knows a soccer player from where he is from and he is essentially expected to support his whole former village he grew up in Edited October 7, 2020 by Dominikk85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) So if the current International Signing Period ends tomorrow, does that mean on October 16th we can start hearing big names announced for teams again? Is this when we should expect to hear who the Sox have signed or are "heavily favored" to sign? EDIT: Looked it up. There is a 3 month freeze essentially from Oct. 15th until Jan. 15th when the next signing period begins. Carry on.

I’m a big fan of righty Cristian Mena from last years group and Adrian Gil is similar in this class. The Sox think Norge Vera will be a fast mover, I’m just not sure how quickly he gets to the states 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sense of how many teams have slot room for a $1M+ addition at this point? I know no one has technically, but I’d assume most money is more or less accounted for.

Enrique Rojas says A's and Tampa are front runners for Pino with $1 million plus. Let's say the Sox sign sign Colas for like $2.2 million. Where the hell does Cespedes go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be really interesting to see how this all shakes out as the last one to sign could get squeezed pretty badly or forced to wait until the next period which obviously isn’t ideal of them.
