San Diego Padres 2025 International Signings Review

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Ben Badler

The price tag went up for Dominican lefthander Carlos Alvarez after he had an open workout for teams on Jan. 15 when he was still unsigned while teams were waiting on Sasaki. The Padres ultimately were able to keep him, signing him for $1 million, the biggest bonus for any lefthander in the 2025 signing period. Alvarez is 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, a highly projectable, athletic frame for him to continue adding to a fastball that reached 93 mph before he signed and has inched up to 94.
Cincinnati Reds 2025 International Signings Review

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Ben Badler

Cincinnati’s top bonus this year went to Venezuelan shortstop Liberts Aponte, who signed for $1.9 million. He’s 6 feet, 170 pounds at 17, a wiry, fast-twitch athlete who shines at shortstop. He’s a graceful, agile defender with quick feet and soft hands, able to make the flashy, highlight plays but with the internal clock to be able to play under control.

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Ben Badler

When Sasaki informed the Rangers they were no longer in in the mix to sign him, the Rangers proceeded with the rest of their signing class as normal on Jan. 15, but they were left with more than $2 million in their bonus pool. They used $1.2 million of that to sign Seong-Jun Kim, an 18-year-old two-way player out of Gwangju Jeil High in South Korea.
New York Yankees 2025 International Signings Review

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Ben Badler

The biggest bonus the Yankees awarded this year went to Dominican shortstop Mani Cedeño, who signed for $2.5 million, tied for the fifth-highest bonus for any Latin American player signed in 2025. Cedeño turns 17 on Aug. 14, so he’s one of the youngest players in the 2025 class and will play nearly the full DSL season as a 16-year-old. Cedeño has a medium build (5-foot-10, 180 pounds) and is one of the more polished hitters signed this year.
Arizona Diamondbacks 2025 International Signings Review

4 days ago | baseballamerica.com | Ben Badler

The D-backs signed Dominican outfielder Elian De La Cruz for $1.1 million. De La Cruz has a strong build (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) at 17 with a lot of strength behind his righthanded swing. He can drive the ball for extra-base damage to both gaps with home run power to his pull side that should continue to increase to become a potentially above-average tool.
