Yankees Sign Ronny Rojas

By Connor Byrne | September 9, 2017 at 10:33am CDT

The Yankees have signed Dominican shortstop Ronny Rojas to a contract with a $1MM bonus, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports. New York had been the front-runner to land Rojas dating back to July 2, the opening of this year’s international signing period. Rojas wasn’t eligible to ink a deal until his 16th birthday on Aug. 23.

The Yankees entered July with $4.75MM available to spend on the international market and quickly signed a few touted prospects, yet they nonetheless increased their total to around $8MM after acquiring pool money in various summer trades. In the 6-foot, 170-pound Rojas, they’ll get a player whom both Baseball America and MLB.com rank as this year’s 11th-best international prospect.

Despite his young age, the switch-hitting Rojas already carries plenty of offensive polish from both sides of the plate, per Badler (subscription required and recommended), who notes that he has 15- to 20-home run potential and a chance to play either short or second base in the majors.

    The Yanks are going to build that minor league depth back up fast.

      Can’t believe Dealing Dave Dombrowski traded 2016 #1 draft pick B.Ruth, 2016 #1 prospect Mateo, 2017 preseason Ace Kaprielian, 2017 Top 100 prospect Fowler, AA Ace Littel, 2015 1st round draft pick Clarkin, and the most valuable trade prospect, Refsnyder.

        Cashman went “all in.” The miscalculation was based on Judge being for real and not Kevin Mass Jr. His greatest regrets will be trading Mateo and Dietrich Enns, the underrated lefty given away for the useless Jaime Garcia.

          Mateo and Enns were the ones I was most fine with seeing leave

          Don’t now about Enns but I do believe in Mateo and James Kaprilian. But you have to trade potential to get the real.

          James K who is never healthy and would be almost 25 years old before throwing another pitch in the pros. Then who knows how long it takes for him to get called up. Im so glad they go rid of him.

          I do agree that they shouldn’t have wasted Enns. The dude can pitch! Just doesn’t throw hard.

    Is that worth $1m less to bid on Otani?

      The thing is that Otani is not going to be payed what he deserves. That’s impossible with the new international rules. Likely it’ll be whatever team offers the best place for him and promises him an immediate contract extension after he signs

        Hopefully he sees how patient the Yanks have been with Tanaka and feels the most comfortable here.

          Yeah. I agree. You’re right the Yankees have been vey patient with masa not only this year, but with all his injuries he’s had. Hopefully otani would feel confident and comfortable in New York
