Sano signs

[NewsWhore]

Major League prospect Miguel Angel Sano has 3.1 million reasons to smile today as the young baseball star has agreed to terms with the Minnesota Twins. The US$3.1 million contract signing ends a difficult process for Sano and his family due to delays while his age was verified. Reports indicate that the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates were both originally interested in signing Sano, but doubts about his real age and the validity of his documents forced both teams to take a step back. The Twins continued their investigations and seemed confident that Sano was indeed 16, as he claimed. The next step for Sano is to go to the US Consulate in Santo Domingo and apply for his visa. Sano's bonus is the second highest ever given to a Dominican player, behind the US$4.2 million given to Michel Inoa and the recently annulled RD$3.1 million given to Wagner Mateo.
