Yankees agree with 3 Venezuelans in international signing period

The New York Yankees reached agreements with three Venezuelan players, international prospects, during the beginning of the signing period. The Bronx team signed a shortstop, catcher and first baseman on Saturday, January 15, 2022.

The first Venezuelan baseball player, whose signature was first known, was from shortstop, Louis Suarez, who received a $50K bonus. In a video posted by Eli Fishman, you can see that Luis Suarez is a young player with a lot of speed on the trails. Here is a sample of a clean triplet signed by the prospect.
