Twins sign former Braves prospect Yunior Severino
Severino signed a $2.5 million contract with the Twins on Friday, pending a
physical, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.
One of the 12 prospects granted free agency as part of the Braves' sanctions
for violating international signing guidelines, Severino has to be considered
one of the biggest losses for Atlanta. The 18-year-old was ranked as the No.
8 international prospect by Baseball America at the time of his agreement
with Atlanta last summer, and will now become a part of the Twins'
organization following one last workout in front of scouts earlier this week.
In the Gulf Coast League last season, Severino slashed .286/.345/.444 with
three home runs, 19 extra-base hits and 27 RBI in 48 games. Although it's
unlikely that the infielder will see the major-league diamond in 2018, he
projects to be a key part of the future in Minnesota.
双城签下Yunior Severino，尚待体检，他在勇士这波放弃的新秀中评价也排很前面
18岁，左右开弓，hit和power的tool都有50
2.5M，因为是动用2018-2019的pool
所以不会影响今年剩下的international signing bonus
