MLB.com | Jesse Sanchez: The international free agent signing period opened yesterday and the Yankees quickly came to an agreement with their top target, signing outfielder Brando Mayea for $4.4 million. The 17-year-old (who has also gone by “Brandon”) was born in Cuba and trains in the Dominican Republic, and was ranked in the top-10 of international prospects by multiple outlets. His signing follows a trend of the Yankees allotting the majority of their international bonus pool money to one player, having done the same with Jasson Domínguez and Roderick Arias in the last few signing periods.
