CC Lee:
More on CC Lee's signing (in Chinese). He received a $350K signing bonus + a possible $90K for tuition if he performs well in the fall instructional league.
Aside from the high six figure offer from a NPB team, Lee received interest from the Indians and 4 other ML teams. The other clubs' offers were all rumored to have been less than $150K (with the Twins offering less than $100K).
The article also goes on to say that the reason for some of the scout's apprehension with not offering/or the lower offer for Lee, was because of Lee's limited upside (will probably be a middle reliever) and that he was overutilized in Taiwan.
