Cuban OF Jordan Sánchez Signs

I think this signing uses up the remaining allotment for 2023 International signings.

The one video I was able to find looks like a well put together kid with a good swing. Looked to be over swinging a bit but everyone does at showcases. Money would be comparable to 4th round pick. Love it seeing the International work and we have 7 million to spend January.

Per a tweet posted by SG in another thread, Sanchez has officially signed for $450 k.

Sanchez is 18 already, so I wonder where he’ll start next year - DSL, FCL or low A.   My guess is that he’ll start in the FCL but be moved to low A if he shows he’s ready.

I like international signings. It provides another avenue of talent acquisition. I may not know anything about this player, but there is always the chance he will make his name be known across Major League Baseball at some point in the future. And that gives me hope.

Thank you for the news, Roll Tide.

Thanks at least we’ve signed Somebody….even if it’s only $450,000

In a baseball sense, he’s sexier than Cesar Prieto.  Now, can he hit pro pitching?  We might not find out until July.   Looks pretty fast too.

Remember when everyone lost their collective minds over Victor Victor Mesa? We've come a long way!

I don't know if that many people were fixated on him specifically or if we just wanted them to use all the slot money they traded for.

He was just what was available,

Why is it that I’m imagining the Orioles’ 2026 starting lineup being a switch-hitter followed by eight LH batters?

Jordan received the third higher bonus for this year’s class after Almeyda and Liranzo!

We also signed two pitchers today at the same ceremony: 20-year-old left-handed pitcher Andy Fabian who has spent time with the Hiroshima Carp’s Dominican Academy and right-handed Salvador Casado out of Luven Baseball Academy.  This is from the Instagram accounts of the signees, Orioles scout Luis Noel, and Luven Baseball Academy.

450 k isn’t small potatoes for an int’l signing. The organization must see a lot of upside here.
