Tigers Reportedly Agree to $4M Deal With 'Elite' 12-Year-Old Hitter
xCruzo Brief
The Detroit Tigers have reportedly reached a pre-agreement with 12-year-old Kevin Sosa from the Dominican Republic for a $4.0 million signing bonus, according to MLB international insider Wilber Sanchez. Under MLB rules, teams can only sign international players who are 16 or older during the International Signing Period, so the arrangement is not a binding contract. Both sides could still walk away. Sanchez said Sosa is viewed as an elite talent and already handles fastballs in the 91–93 mph range. The Tigers plan to sign him once he turns 16, though an International Draft pushed in the new CBA could complicate future outcomes.
