Paul Hoynes of the Clevelend Plain Dealer reports that the Indians have signed 16-year old catching prospect Martin Cervenka to a non-drafted free agent minor league contract.
Cervenka will stay with his club team in the Czech Republic in 2009 and will spend the next two summers at the MLB’s baseball academy in Australia.
This report from CBSSports.com discusses the increasing number of major league teams who are actively scouting in Europe, which Cleveland’s assistant GM John Mirabelli calls, "the new frontier for baseball."
