When I fist saw this on Facebook, I thought "there's no way this is real", but I found a second source from Sporting News. The Cincinnati Reds have done a "pre-agreement" worth $2.8 Million for a player from Dominican Republic who is 12 years old. That's 12. TWELVE YEARS OLD! He's still in middle school and he's already a millionaire.

This could change Cincinnati's future. Well, eventually.
