DEPAULA LIKELY TO BE SIGNED

Sports Illustrated's Melissa Segura reports that the Yankees will sign amateur free agent RHP Rafael DePaula from the Dominican Republic today for a signing bonus of $700,000.

Bronx Baseball Daily says "DePaula, 20, had actually been under suspension for identity fraud in an attempt to make himself appear younger."

Segura says DePaula was clocked as throwing in the upper 90's and will start in the Yankees farm system next year.
