Moncada’s contract is expected to be worth $30m in signing bonus money that would break the $8.27m record for an international amateur player.
The youngster will have to pass a physical to make his deal official though.
The infielder is receiving massive hype as he enters the league, and he is even expected to be on the same level as Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano.
