The Dodgers replenished their farm system with 22 international signings headlined by three highly regarded 17-year-olds from Venezuela and the Dominican Republic on Friday, the start of the postponed international signing period.
Wilman Díaz, a shortstop from Venezuela, is the third-ranked prospect in the class, according to MLB Pipeline. He was signed out of the same program that housed catcher Diego Cartaya, the top-ranked international signee in 2018. Cartaya, who signed with the Dodgers for $2.5 million, is widely regarded as one of the Dodgers’ top five prospects. With Díaz, the Dodgers have signed the top-ranked Venezuelan prospect each of the last three years.
