8 Teams With Strong Returns From Their 2024 International Signing Classes
It takes much more than a year to be able to measure the ultimate quality of a team’s international signing class. But after one season, there’s a lot of new information we have to be able to judge the early returns on how each team’s 2024 international signing class is shaping up.
With professional games in the Dominican Summer League having revealed a new layer of information to bring our evaluations of players into sharper focus, Baseball America’s Ben Badler takes a look at which teams came out ahead on the international scene in 2024. Highlights include:
An NL Central team that nabbed the top prospect in the DSL for $950,000
An AL East squad that is starting to make some moves in Latin America after many long, dormant years
An NL West club that put nearly nearly all of its international bonus pool money toward a switch-hitting Dominican shortstop
