The copy of the contract that MLB provided listed the starting date as March 21, 2011. The signing date of the contract provided by the Mexican court was Jan. 1, 2010. The signing date of the contract provided by MLB was March 16, 2011.”

That would seem to be enough inconsistency to invalidate that shady contract. More concerning though is that one of the biggest clubs in Mexico gave him a $2000 ( guess as a signing bonus?). I know the standard of living there is lower than the U.S. but still that’s only like $150-160…that is a sham considering how much those teams down there make

I’m glad that the kid is finding meaning in trying to change the system, since he’s not getting it from playing anymore.
