The Detroit Tigers began the 2021 international signing period by adding two 17-year-old shortstops: Cristian Santana and Abel Bastidas.
A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Free Press on Friday morning that Santana has inked a deal with a $2.95 million signing bonus, but Bastidas — while expected to sign soon — has not officially agreed to terms.
However, Bastidas is slated to sign with the Tigers for a $1.175 million bonus, according to MLB's Jesse Sanchez. Santana is ranked as the No. 14 prospect by MLB Pipeline in this year's international class; Bastidas is No.
