Gonzalez got a bonus of $2,997,500, which is higher than the $2.5M estimate that had been publicly expected. He's a switch-hitter who has good bat-to-ball skills and can line drive doubles, with plus-plus speed, and the defense to stick at shortstop with a plus arm. Photo: Francys Romero on X

Shortstop Yulian Barreto is the top signing out of Venezuela. He's a smaller player who doesn't project to have much power as he grows, but he's got the skills to be able to stay at shortstop, which can make for a good pro career. (Love that white jacket, too!) Photo: Francys Romero on X

Forgot to add above, Barreto reportedly got a $900k bonus.

We also got a photo of the signing from Carlos Martinez in Venezuela. He signed for $50k. He's a switch hitting catcher who doesn't strike out a lot and has "advanced catch and throw skills" behind the plate. (Also looking sharp!) Photo: Francys Romero on X
