The difference is those Red Sox players had never left their countries or played for org. Maitan has played a season of A ball in the US.

The more I think about it the less I think they’ll allow Maitan to double dip here.

From a Fangraphs prospect chat:

quote:

I don't know if MLB will make him a free agent but there's recent precedent for it if they do. Albert Guaimaro and Simon Muzziotti were made FAs after already playing pro ball for the Red Sox. Unless other considerations are made for Maitan and this incident, if MLB finds an infraction they consider similar to what happened with Boston, maybe Maitan hits the open market.


Looks like at least 2 of the Red Sox guys were playing organized ball and pulled.

Although I thought I read somewhere that the investigation into Maitan initially was thought to reveal nothing of note.
