Hernandez comes with a 100 percent luxury tax hit ($2.5 million) for the Padres, who had already soared past their international spending allotment. The 18-year-old left-hander drew interest from a range of major league clubs, including the Reds, Astros, Mets, Braves, Rangers, and Red Sox. He reportedly sits 92-94 mph with his fastball, with room for improvement.

SD Starting Pitcher
Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports that 18-year-old Cuban left-hander Osvaldo Hernandez has been declared a free agent by Major League Baseball and is now free to sign with any team of his choosing.

The Padres, Reds, Astros, Mets, Braves, Rangers and Red Sox are among the many clubs that have already expressed interest in Hernandez. Due to his age, he is subject to international bonus pools, which restricts some teams (Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, Angels, Rays, Yankees and Red Sox) from signing him until July 2. The young southpaw has a live fastball that has been clocked between 92-94 MPH.
