Goold is reporting via twitter that the cards also signed a SS for around $300k

It is more telling to me that they didnt talk about command. Frankly I could care less about a 16yos change-up.

If a guy is throws a touch below average I wonder what the change up is? 84mp fb and 80mph changeup? Tall lean kids often can add MPH to there fastball as they get on strength programs. Wonder how long he’s played baseball?
