Pirates signed Dominican SS Yordany De Los Santos.
De Los Santos, the 12th-ranked international prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, will receive a $1.2 million signing bonus. Pirates director of international scouting Junior Vizcaino recently described the 16-year-old infielder as an “athletic, physical shortstop with the tools to be a plus defender and hit in the middle of the lineup.” He’s a long way from the majors, but is worth monitoring for fantasy managers in keeper and dynasty league formats.
