The Dodgers have indeed agreed upon a $16MM bonus with Cuban right-hander
Yadier Alvarez, MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez reports (
links to Twitter).
Los Angeles has also agreed with outfielder
Starling Heredia on a $2.6MM bonus and with infielder
Ronny Brito on a $2MM bonus, per Sanchez. Those players also rated amongst the thirty best international prospects available.
With just these three signings alone, Los Angeles will easily land well over its fairly meager international spending
allocation of $2,020,300. Every dollar spent above that mark will be taxed, much of it at a 100% rate, meaning the Dodgers are already nearing $40MM in total obligations.
