Got a feeling it's going to be a long day.

Reb won't have to worry about me posting any more Kiley McDaniel info as the Braves have hired him.

Eddy Julio Martinez has multiple agents!

MLB will decide who is binding.

I  hope MLB is quicker on this issue than they were with the Joe Maddon tampering investigation.

I wonder with the way it is was reported with Law and Sanchez saying Cubs and not the Giants, if the Cubs have a deal with his real agent and the Giants have a deal with one of the buscones.

The other way around.

Martinez is represented in the Dominican Republic by trainers Aldo Marrero and Amauris Nina. He is represented in the United States by Beverly Hills Sports Council. It was Marrero and Nina who made the deal with the Cubs. It was BHSC that made the deal with the Giants.

That is what I get for speculating.  I think this paragraph is important though.

"According to sources, Martinez signed the term sheet for the Cubs on Oct. 8 and filed it for approval by the Commissioner's Office one day later. The Giants submitted paperwork claiming a deal with Martinez the day after they came to terms. However, representatives for Martinez claim the player did not sign a term sheet for the Giants or the sworn statement that says a Cuban player is in compliance with Section 515.05 of Cuban Assets Control Regulations in order to sign with a Major League team."

Obviously, the Martinez situation is murky and probably pointless to speculate about and the sportswriter, Sanchez, has been wrong at least twice already...but the issue seems to be agency and not what forms Martinez personally may not have signed and submitted to MLB (other than the appropriate agency agreement between him and the agent). The actual agent has authority to make an agreement on behalf of the client. That's what agency is. So, probably a matter of deciding who is the actual agent for purposes of a contract with a club. If MLB finds it too murky to decipher, they may just void both agreements. At that point, Martinez would probably sign with Cubs or whoever has most money on the table at the time.
