SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - The agent for Yoenis C?spedes says the Cuban outfielder has established legal residency in the Dominican Republic, the final hurdle to becoming a free agent.
Edgar Mercedes confirmed the residency in a telephone interview Tuesday.
Once Major League Baseball receives proof of Cespedes' residency, it will send a letter to all clubs verifying his status as a free agent.
Earlier this month, Cespedes said six major league teams ? the Miami Marlins, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs and White Sox ? are interested in him.
