Like @DirtySox said, once his Visa issues are resolved, he's expected to join Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I was looking at mlb pipeline and they listed his Eta to the big leagles as 2022. Do the Sox plan to be that aggressive moving him through the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Sox plan to be that aggressive moving him through the system? Some are even speculating this year. Nobody really knows. Going by some of the scouting reports, there's a lot of rust/inactivity to overcome, so there should be a really strong indication by the end of this season if he's progressing in a way where expectations of a 2022 debut are realistic. Based on his photos/Instagram, he keeps himself in really good shape, but body/tone conditioning is quite distinct from hitting a 95 mph fastball with consistency...and especially adjusting to high quality secondary pitches thrown with command/control Cespedes was unlikely to have encountered in Cuba or international tournaments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Don't the owners have the government in their pockets? They got Congress to pass the Save America's Positive Act. You're telling me Jerry can't get Cespedes' Visa on the fast track? Get it done already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that depends on how long it takes for Eloy and Robert to come back, along with how well Cespedes hits in AA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Is there any date given on when he might arrive? With every passing day, he’s missing out on advancing his career! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
