Dodgers Outright Yaisel Sierra Off The 40-Man Roster

Bill Plunkett Twitter

Alex Reyes Ranked #2, Jack Flaherty #43, Luke Weaver #49, Junior Fernandez #63, Jake Woodford #67, Sandy Alcantara #68, & Sam Tuivailala #79 In Baseball America's 2016 Top Right-Handed Pitching Prospects

Now that we’ve wrapped up the Top 10 Prospects lists for all 30 teams, we turn our attention to how the best of the best stack up against each other. Because it’s very arbitrary to pick which minor league starters will end up as relievers (and a lot of it depends on team need), we grouped starters and relievers together in the pitching rankings.

Yasiel Sierra Highlight Video

One of the best Cuban pitchers who will be available to sign this year is Yaisel Sierra, a 23-year-old righthander who will be exempt from the international bonus pools. He has his residency now, so he is just waiting for Major League Baseball to declare him a free agent, which based on the league’s recent precedent means he should be available at some point in the next couple of months, with an open showcase in the Dominican Republic scheduled for Friday.

Vladimir Gutierrez Closer To Signing

Vladimir Gutierrez, one of the top Cuban pitching prospects, received his residency in Mexico and has registered with Major League Baseball. That means teams will be able to sign him during the 2015-16 signing period, which begins on July 2. Gutierrez’s ability to sign on July 2 had previously been in question, since international players born after Sept. 1, 1995 are required to be registered with the commissioner’s office by May 15 in order to be eligible for the upcoming signing period instead of having to wait until July 2, 2016 to sign.
