Needless to say, Robert will command far beyond that $300K figure given the eye-popping early reports on his talent. One NL international scouting director tells Sanchez that Robert is second only to Shohei Otani on the list of best international talents in baseball, describing the 19-year-old as “a five-tool guy that can be in the big leagues soon.” An international scouting director for an AL team goes even further, calling Robert “the best player on the planet, and that’s no exaggeration.”

He will be a cub or a red sock but it sure would be funny if we lose our first two picks in the draft but end up with what would most assuredly be a #1 overall pick

We have a chance to get him if he's a free agent before June 15th it seems. After that some of the bigger dogs can be in the running for his services.

What determines if he can become a free agent before June 15th?

If I'm not mistaken, that's MLB's decision

If that's the case, we'll just file this under 'Ain't Gonna Happen'.
