Source: Eddy Julio Martinez agrees with Cubs for $3M signing bonus

Cuban center-field prospect Eddy Julio Martinez has agreed to terms with the Chicago Cubs, a source close to Martinez told ESPN's Keith Law.

Martinez, 20, will receive a $3 million signing bonus, pending a physical, the source said. He will receive the standard minor league contract because the current collective bargaining agreement prohibits major league deals for amateur players.

The agreement comes after a potential deal with the San Francisco Giants fell apart earlier this week.

At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Martinez is considered to be among the top international prospects. He has been training in the Dominican Republic.

Martinez left Cuba last November after playing two seasons for Las Tunas in Cuba's Serie Nacional, according to MLB.com. MLB declared him a free agent in May.
