Looks like a nice signing. If he stays at SS or becomes a corner OF. High upside, low risk.

1.75 M low risk?

60% of their allotment seems like a lot for a guy who has scouts split on his future potential.
Who knows though. Signing teenagers out of the Dominican is more of a crapshoot than the draft. In five years, Rosario could be a complete bust and never make it past A-ball, or he could be an All Star shortstop. Or literally anything in between.
Can’t wait until he reaches prime, becomes the most gifted SS defensively, and wins a batting title so we can let him walk without receiving just compensation.

I’m reading the description of just another good-field-no-hit shortstop. Strikeouts or no, can he hit? Is he a base-stealing threat? No one expects the Mets, or anyone else, to find another Jose Reyes, but one would like as complete a player as possible. Cal Ripken, jr, and Derek Jeter made it plain years ago that teams can no longer afford defense-only shortstops. Rosario can be as “divisive” as he likes, as long as he has the skills to put his bat on the ball.

I’m keeping some faith in the fact that the Mets have very good people in their scouting department…

I’m a little confused on the new rule in the CBA, can they not go over $2.75 million for 1 player or what’s the exact rule?
