Who is the Angels’ territorial scout for Andorra?
That might be important soon in the case of Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman, 21, who is establishing residency in the small European country between France and Spain, according to ESPN.
By establishing residency outside the U.S., Chapman can be declared a free agent.
Thus he can avoid the millions of dollars available in the major-league draft, and instead qualify for the even more millions of dollars available through free agency for a pitcher clocked in excess of 100 mph during the World Baseball Classic.
The Yankees are reportedly interested in Chapman, so the Red Sox will be. That means the Angels might give him a look, as well.
