From the Nuevo Herald article: Theo got caught in a bidding war with the Cubs, first offering 6.5M before Chicago topped it.

Como sucedió en el caso de Contreras, el torpedero se benefició de una puja entre dos equipos, pues Boston le habría ofrecido en principio $6.5 millones antes de que los Cachorros de Chicago pusieran sobre la mesa una oferta superior.
There's some controversy with his former and present representation. His former agent, Jaime Torres, is arguing that Fernando Cuza and Diego Bentz from SFX violated his contract with Iglesias and Torres wants to be paid for his work.
edit: Apparently he's somewhere in this photo, winning a 17-18 year old PanAmerican tournament held in
Mexico in 2008. I'm guessing he's the motorboater. Check out that (?) confetti!

As Jose recalls from his ninth grade English class, pretty much all of literature, ergo all of human narrative, falls into one of four archetypes: romance, tragedy, comedy and satire. Jose is hard pressed to come up with anything that crosses into all four categories, save the romantic tragicomic farce of Manny Ramirez. --Jose Melendez
