Yulieski Gourriel Reportedly Eligible to Sign with MLB Team

Cuban star Yulieski Gourriel has reportedly been ruled a free agent and can sign with any Major League Baseball team, per Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports added Gourriel could be ready to play in the big leagues with three to five weeks of preparation.

Gourriel is an old free agent, having just turned 32 years old on June 9, but it does not appear as if that will hurt his earning power.

As a Cuban player who is over the age of 23 with more than five seasons in Serie Nacional, Gourriel is not subject to MLB's international spending rules.
