The infielder, who ranks No. 15 on MLB.com’s Top 50 International Prospects list, and the Rockies agreed to a deal for $2.8 million.
The Rockies, who have a bonus pool of $6,262,600, have not confirmed the agreement.
Jorge, 18, was the shortstop for Cuba's team in the U-15 Baseball Cup in Panama in 2018 and defected from the island in late '19. He was declared eligible to sign a few months later.
Jorge has continued to improve his game in the past year and added to his reputation as a solid defender and an all-around player who can excel at multiple facets of the game. Jorge’s upside and high baseball IQ combined to make him one of the most interesting prospects when he arrived on the market early in 2020, and his stock has only increased.
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association finalized a deal in March 2020 that addressed the international signing period during the pandemic. The 2022 international signing period runs through Dec. 15, 2022, the second year in a row the period, which previously began July 2, started in January.
The current rules also state that teams are not allowed to trade any of their international pool money. Signing bonuses of $10,000 or less do not count toward a club's bonus pool, and foreign professional players who are at least 25 years of age and have played in a foreign league for at least six seasons are also exempt.
