Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that Cuban OF Cristian Vaquero is expected to sign with the Nationals for $5 million.
Vaquero, also known as “The Phenomenon,” is a dynamic switch-hitting centerfielder with a strong arm, plus speed, and a ton of projectable power. The 17-year-old was ranked as the second-best international prospect in this class according to MLB Pipeline, behind only Yankees shortstop Roderick Arias.
