Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez could soon sign with a Major League team, according to his agent.

Jaime Torres thinks his client can help a major league team this year and expects to have the right-hander signed by next week.

"I do not think it will happen this weekend," Torres said. "But, fortunately, I hope to have an agreement for next week. While the more interested clubs are making their last internal consultations, we are working on the visa process that [Gonzalez] will need to come to the United States."

The Dodgers, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Phillies, Blue Jays, Twins and Marlins are among the teams interested, according to a source.
