"Cuban sensation Yoenis Cespedes is expected to meet with Miami Marlins officials today, kicking off his "super star"-for-hire tour that's expected to include visits with the Tigers, Cubs, White Sox and Orioles, among others.

It's the latest chapter in the never-ending saga of a five-tool outfielder who we've been hearing about for months, as he defected from Cuba and was granted citizenship in the Dominican Republic, before he recently — and finally — was declared a free agent.

He's now free to sign with a major league team, even though he's waiting on the work visa that will allow him to play full-time in the United States. (That reminds me: Anyone heard from Francisco Cruceta?)"
