Report: Blue Jays "Expected" To Sign International Prospect Seo-jun Moon

[Leo Morgenstern]

Francys Romero of Beisbol FR and KBO Insider Daniel Kim have both reported that the Blue Jays are "expected" to sign international free agent Seo-jun Moon to a contract with a signing bonus of more than $1 million. The right-handed pitcher is considered one of the top high school prospects in Korea. 

This is a noteworthy signing, not only because of the lucrative bonus but also because it is unusual to see a Korean prospect opt to sign with an MLB organization rather than enter the KBO draft. The Jays seem to be taking advantage of their particularly deep pockets this year; the $2 million they added to their international bonus pool in the Myles Straw trade gave them the largest bonus pool for the current signing period of all 30 teams.
