Don't get your hopes up on Vera playing stateside this year. MLB really fucked these guys over. Signing in January instead of last July likely forces him to DSL this year 

This is fucking horrible news.  Does the same apply to Cespedes?  If so, that takes a ton of the excitement out of that particular signing.

Cespedes had residency in Florida so he'll play stateside. Vera was in the DR. For tax purposes, he's signed in 2021 so there are issues with him playing stateside during signing year. Had he been able to sign in July, this wouldn't be an issue. It's not that big of a deal. It's pretty annoying though.

Anyone know what Vera’s birthday is?  Just curious how old he’ll be when he finally plays stateside.

He’s 20 right now. He will be 21 on June 1. He’s advanced so he’ll move quickly. There’s nothing stopping him from finishing in AA or AAA in 2022 IMO and being in big leagues after. Kopech will pitch the entire year at 25.

Thanks...definitely makes me feel a bit better.  Was worried this might turn into a Yogurt Sanchez situation.
