southsider2k5 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Source: MLB to immediately investigate Rangers' signing of Jairo Beras. MLB was under the impression Beras was 16, ineligible to be signed Beras may be the last of baseball's big bonus babies. The $2.9M cap on int'l FA starts this summer. Sliding scale goes into effect in '13. Fascinating case about to unfold with Rangers giving 17-year-old Jairo Beras a $4.5M bonus. Until recently, was believed to be 16. Ben Badler @BenBadler Baseball America has evidence going back to 2011 of Jairo Beras using a Dec. 25, 1995 DOB. Story coming soon. Jairo Beras' DOB was listed as 12/25/95, giving teams and MLB the impression he was a July 2, 2012 guy. If he's 17, something has changed. Don't pencil Jairo Beras into the Rangers' farm system just yet. If MLB approves the reported contract, teams will be furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we learn that he's actually 21 and that Leo Nunez is his real name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
