Mets Sign International Catcher Yovanny Rodriguez
4 months agoThe New York Mets agreed to terms with catcher Yovanny Rodriguez, shortstop Jensy Rivas and outfielder Edward Lantigua on Monday to kick off the 2024 international signing period. According to MLB Pipeline, Rodriguez is the No. 6 overall international prospect, with Rivas ranking 31st and Lantigua at No. 41. Rodriguez is expected to sign for $2.85 million, Rivas for $500,000 and Lantigua for $950,000. Rodriguez has a chance to be the best player in this international class as an advanced catching prospect with some pop and skills. He has a chance to be a star on both sides of the ball. The switch-hitting Rivas is one of the most polished hitters in the class from the left side of the plate and can play defense. Lantigua is an interesting international athlete who has drawn comparisons to Mariners superstar Julio Rodriguez in terms of his size, speed and athleticism.
