During the ongoing international signing period, Dominican infielder Kendry Martinez has secured a lucrative $2.5 million deal with the Seattle Mariners, marking one of the 17 additional players who have agreed to seven-figure bonuses. The signing period, which commenced on Wednesday and extends until December 15, has seen a total of 32 players clinch bonuses of $1 million or more.
While several teams have been actively finalizing contracts, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, along with three other teams, have yet to solidify any deals and have maintained their entire signing bonus pool allotment. Notably, the San Diego Padres have managed to secure a deal for $10,000, the highest amount that does not impact a team's bonus pool, as they pursue Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki.
