The 2025 international signing period opened on Wednesday, and the Tigers quickly locked up their top target. Dominican outfielder Cris Rodriguez agreed to a signing bonus of $3.2 million. He is the highest ranked international free agent prospect in Tigers’ history.
Rodriguez is a 6-foot-4, 200 pound outfielder and while he already has some of the best batspeed and raw power in this signing class, he also has the frame to add plenty of good muscle as he fills out. He should eventually have double plus power. Rodriguez is also a plus runner who may be able to stick at the center field position.
