Fernando

Cruz

The deal is worth $4 million. Cruz is the 4th-ranked international prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. He is known for his strength and ability to hit for power to all fields. He has tremendous bat speed, and despite being a free swinger, has good feel for the barre, which should allow him to grow into a 20-to-25 homer hitter as he matures. Cruz also has the frame and tools to hold down the shortstop position long-term.
