After spending nearly $100 million (including taxes) on Yadier Alvarez, Yusniel Diaz, Yaisel Sierra and Yordan Alvarez in the previous international signing period, the Los Angeles Dodgers appear to have once again dipped their toes into the Cuban talent pool.
Multiple sources have reported that the Dodgers have agreed to terms with infielder Jose Miguel Fernandez on a Minor League contract. Per Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com, Fernandez’s signing bonus is in the neighborhood of $200,000.
The 28-year-old infielder, who was ranked as the third-best prospect in Cuba by Baseball America in 2015, was cleared to sign with Major League teams last April.
