9:40 AM: It’s been confirmed to by a Mets source that they have signed Venezuelan LHP Juan Urbina, son of former big leaguer Ugueth Urbina. I have also confirmed that the bonus is for over $1 million. I’ll try to track down the specific amount.

Juan is the son of former big league closer Ugueth Urbina. His dad is currently serving a 14 year sentence for attempted murder in Venezuela. Does anyone know anything about this kid?
