Eddie Kim has yet to sign

Brent Metheny's free agent contract netted his in the neighborhood of a $1,000 signing bonus

Kurt Isenberg has signed and will receive a $299,000 signing bonus

When these guys sign, what is their next step? Would they be able to get going right in a rookie league for the remainder of the summer, or do they wait until winter ball of some kind? Also, any chance that they fit somehow into single A as many teams have multiple single A affiliates?

I think Kim needs to get signed and get playing right away!

They all go to Rookie League or Short-Season A ball

I believe Eddie has now signed - terms appear to be undisclosed.

He is playing for the Vancover Canadians, the A's short season A league team.

Eddie is 3 for 9 in his first two games, with a double and 2 RBI

Deuchler is 1 for his first 2

Nathan Doyle 0 for his first 3

McKernan, Metheny and Isenberg have yet to see action.
