Beginning your professional career in a snowstorm is not an easy thing. For Eddy Julio Martinez, playing in snow was probably not what he imagined when he inked a deal with the Cubs last October. The Cubs signed Martinez as part of their 2015–16 international free agent class, but the deal came a few months after most other IFA’s had been inked. In a strange twist, the Giants announced they had signed him for $2.5 million a week before the Cubs did. It some time to sort out, but the Cubs’ contract with Martinez was deemed the valid one.
