Athletics' Robert Puason: Has shot at player pool

Robert Puason is projected to be a part of the Oakland Athletics' 60-man player pool that will report to the team's summer camp, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.Gallegos relays a report from MLB.com colleague Jesse Sanchez, who had a source confirm to him that the 17-year-old is slated to get his first taste of a big-league camp beginning July 1. Puason was considered one of the most talented members of the 2019 international signing class, and he secured an impressive $5.1 million bonus last summer. Puason may well be a bit wide-eyed alongside the large contingent of much more experienced, older players, but the fact the organization wants to invest a spot in the young Dominican underscores how talented a prospect he is.
