It's July 2, the opening day of international free agent signings, when teams budgest for that market are released for spending by the CBA laws, and when, traditionally, there is a slew of signings announced.

Alcantara is a Dominican RHP the Cards have been attached to for a while. I don't think there's a heck of a lot more info on him floating around than that.

6-4, 165 with a fastball that has projection. Sits upper 80's but also touches lower 90's.

Best pitch is a changeup with the curveball lagging behind. Athletic, trained at Beltran Academy. Some believe the Cards stashed him, but he actually had worked out with the Royals in the past as well. Really developed over the past year and added at least 5 mph to his fastball. The Cardinals like him and believe he's a possible steal.

Signed for around $125,000 I believe.
