Signings will be delayed because of COVID-19, but reports say the Chicago White Sox will land 2 top international prospects in Yoelqui Cespedes, Norge Vera.

Friday is the first day the new crop of international prospects can sign deals with Major League Baseball clubs and it is being widely reported the Chicago White Sox have landed two of the top prospects available this year in Cuban nationals Yoelqui Cespedes and Norge Vera.

Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reported Friday morning that the White Sox had received commitments from the pair, with the White Sox later posting on Twitter they had signed Cespedes to a contract.
