<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to his agent Bart Hernandez, Cuban shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria is now able to sign with any team, reports Jorge Arangure of ESPN.com.
Hechavarria was temporarily blocked as the Office of Foreign Assets Committee verified his age, identity and residency. Some scouts consider the 21-year-old as a more promising prospect than Jose Iglesias, who signed a four-year, $8.25 million contract with the Red Sox last September. The Yankees and Cubs are among those who have shown heavy interest in Hechavarria, according to Arangure.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
