A little birdie says the Minnesota Twins are deep in the process of trying to sign Dominican Republic shortstop Miquel Sano, who is considered the top international prospect available this year. One problem: Major League Baseball hasn't yet approved Sano's eligibility or been able to confirm his alleged age of 16. "So it's buyer beware," a top scout said.

signing 16 year olds is a bit of a stretch.....we don't need to be importing more stupid foreigners into this country.

it's true, at least if you're going to give us a bad topic explore all possible angles, for instance the possibility of the twins signing him, who would be on the outside looking in, when this guy could be put into the lineup by etc.

Whenever you see one of these started by "a little birdie" and ended by "St. Paul Pioneer Press", just ignore it. No one in Minnesota takes Charlie "Shooter" Walters seriously, and no one anywhere else should too.

Agreed, home-bred it is!!!

All the Twinkies would do is sign him to big bucks and not re-sign him if he were to become a great player. I'd be surprised if they re-signed Mauer when he becomes available. They might as trade him now and get a bunch of prospects
