Yasmany Tomas and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a $68.5 million contract for six years and has an opt-out clause after four years. He is the latest Cuban to sign with a major league team and has spent the seven years playing for the Havana industries. He is twenty-four, batted 375, with two home runs and five RBIs in last year’s world baseball classic.
Arizona went a major league-worst 64-98 last season, fired manager Kirk Gibson and reassigned general manager Kevin Towers. In total dollars among Cuban players, Tomas' deal would fall just short of the $72.5 million, seven-year contract agreed to in August between Castillo and the Boston Red Sox.
