Sox signed Cuban defector Loidel Chapelli Jr. (20 year old OF). I didn’t know if this warranted a thread or not, but I figured I would if there could be more guys signed fairly soon…Feel free to collapse into another thread.

Of course, deals for next period will be agreed upon and reported long before the players actually sign.

The video that accompanies the tweet shows that Chapelli hits left handed.
The $500K signing bonus would indicate that he’s at least somewhat well regarded.
The fact that the Sox are continuing to put additional emphasis on acquiring left handed hitters (following Montgomery, Kath, and Colas) is encouraging. It seems the Sox brain trust is coming to realize that they’ve had a problem with RHP shutting them down too often because for decades, really, they have been predominately a RH hitting team. Moreover, LH hitters hitting fly balls to RF can take advantage of winds out of the north and northwest that tend to predominate in the cold weather months at GRF.

Sox have signed the #41 international prospect a pitcher:
The list of international prospects and players the White Sox have signed in recent years is long and noteworthy. Acquiring talent on the global market has become a staple of the organization, and the approach continues. The club on Monday announced it had agreed to a $700,000 deal with right-hander
