San Diego Padres deep into international tax waters with Cuban prospect Jorge Ona

Hot on the heels of the Padres signing Cuban pitcher Adrian Morejon the Padres have blown past any international spending limits with aplomb and don’t look like they are done. With more than 11 months still remaining in the international free agency year the Padres have already spent more than $60 Million on international talent, which is more than they have spent on free agents in the past 2 years combined.

Jorge Ona is listed as 6’1” and 200 pounds, which is roughly the same size as Adrian Morejon was listed at and about 50 pounds heavier than Melvin Upton Jr.
