The Royals are once again looking to make a splash during the July 2nd international signing period much like they did in 2011 with the signings of Elier Hernandez and Raul Mondesi. The international scouting crew lead by Rene Francisco is one of the most talented groups in the front office which is evident by the prospects and major league squad that includes Sal Perez, Kelvin Herrera, Yordano Ventura, the Royals top prospect Mondesi and Texas League All Star MVP Jorge Bonifacio. With new rules applied to international signings in the CBA the Royals haven’t made a big splash since ’11 but that is changing this year.
