• Baseball America's Ben Badler reports that the Padres have signed Dominican centerfielder Yoan Alcantara. ESPN's Jorge Arangure says he received a $135,000 signing bonus. Alcantara is said to be a good athlete with plus speed and a plus arm.
• Arangure tweets that the Rockies signed Dominican shortstop Rosmel Herrera for $550,000.
