Yoelki Cespedes is the #1 international prospect at @MLBPipeline and #12 at @BaseballAmerica. He needs some minor league team but it s a pretty significant addition for Marco Paddy and the #WhiteSox James Fox (@JamesFox917) December 22, 2020
On the offensive side, Céspedes has been the primary White Sox international target for some time now, and it’s believed that his signing would have been announced this past summer if not for the international signing date moving from July to January due to the pandemic.
Céspedes, 23, is the half-brother of Yoenis Céspedes and is a five-tool prospect very much comparable to Yoenis. The key here for right field is the arm, which scouts equate to Yoenis’ cannon.
