JUST IN: Braves break record by signing this wonderfull key prayer…………….

On the opening day of the international signing period, the Atlanta Braves agreed to a $5 million bonus for shortstop Jose Perdomo, setting a record for the largest deal ever awarded to a player born in Venezuela. It was the biggest bonus any player in the class had received.

MLB.com stated that the Braves are bringing in one of the best hitters in this year’s foreign market. “As the 2024 signing window began, Atlanta came to terms on shortstop Jose Perdomo… for $5 million.”

Nearly the whole $5.284 million signing bonus was spent by the Braves to sign Perdomo, a 17-year-old who tops Baseball America’s 2024 foreign prospects bonus list. He is well known for his exceptional quickness, strong defensive arm, and ability to put balls in play.

Some who have observed Perdomo’s defensive progress over the past year think he could stick at shortstop because of his highly regarded bat-to-ball skills and short swing, which results in a high contact rate, according to The Athletic. “Although he doesn’t have much power right now, Perdomo has demonstrated more promise in that area with strength gained since making waves at a Florida showcase event in 2023.”

With a core of players that can stay under club control until the 2027 season (Austin Riley, Josh Harris, Matt Olson, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Ozzie Albies), the Braves have established a league standard for securing, developing, and locking in youthful talent. But with the arrival of Perdomo, their farm system appears to be strengthened, despite the fact that it still appears a touch short, especially for position players.

As one of just a few position player prospects with impact potential, he instantly joins a high tier of Braves prospects, according to Garrett Spain’s analysis for SBNation.

Orlando Arcia, Nicky Lopez, and Ehire Adrianza are all anticipated to split time at shortstop for the big league team starting in 2024. For the time being, Perdomo will concentrate on strengthening his tendency toward contact and keep improving his defense. Next, he’ll probably go to the Dominican Summer League, where Braves coaches and fans can monitor his progress.
