International Signings Thread

[nick]

Cardinals signed outfielder Wagner Mateo.

Mateo, a 16-year-old from the Dominican Republic, received a $3.1 million signing bonus, which stands as the second-highest chunk of money ever tendered to a Latin American amateur. The Giants were also in the hunt, but Cardinals GM John Mozeliak sealed the deal with an in-home visit.

Yankees signed catcher Gary Sanchez.

July 2 marks the beginning of the international free agent signing period, so look for more transactions throughout the day. Sanchez, a 16-year-old Dominican, was handed a $3 million signing bonus. He was pursued by several other clubs, but the Yanks outbid the bunch.

It would be awesome if one year, the Yankees signed everyone.
