The Tigers have emerged as one of the most active teams on the international market in recent years, and that trend has continued into 2022.
The club has signed 6-foot shortstop Javier Osorio, who ranks No. 13 on MLB.com’s Top 50 International Prospects list. According to industry sources, the deal is for $2.2 million. Detroit also signed shortstop Samuel Gil for $1.25 million, and catcher Josue Breceno and shortstop Heison Sanchez for $800,000 apiece.
The Tigers have $5,721,500 in bonus pool money.
Overall, the athletic Osorio projects to be an average defender with a plus arm. He has a chance to stay at shortstop for a long time because of his instincts, good footwork and soft hands.
He also projects to be an above-average runner with good instincts and base-stealing potential.
The Tigers have signed SS Javier Osorio (6-0, 165) from Venezuela to a Minor League contract.
