George King III of the New York Post says the Blue Jays are close to signing 19 year old Cuban SS Adeiny Hechevarria to a $10 million deal.
King said Hechevarria’s decision came down to either the Blue Jays or Yankees, but given Derek Jeter is likely to receive a long term contract extension, he didn’t envision himself as their shortstop.
On Friday, the Mets held a workout for Hechevarria, and he was also drawing interest from the Tigers.
