The story of José Mujica is one of a player getting lost in the shuffle. First of all, he’s certainly not the most famous José Mujica. Mujica was signed out of Venezuela for $1M back in 2012 by Tampa Bay, which was only the second biggest bonus the Rays handed out that year. In an incredibly deep Tampa system, the right-hander was so buried that Fangraphs didn’t rank him as one of the 54 best prospects in the system in 2019. Mujica was Colorado’s only major league free agent signing last off-season, but was little more than an afterthought for most Rockies fans.
