Yankees Rumors: Prospect Jasson Dominguez Signs Contract with $5.1M Bonus

The New York Yankees signed highly touted 16-year-old prospect Jasson Dominguez on Tuesday to a deal that carries a $5.1 million signing bonus, according to ESPN.com.

The contract also includes $250,000 in potential scholarship money should Dominguez pursue further education.

Equipped with a skill set that could make him a five-tool player, the 5'10", 190-pound Dominguez is viewed as one of the top prospects to come out of Latin America in recent years. MLB.com ranks him as the No. 1 international prospect, citing the switch-hitting outfielder's "excellent bat speed" and his ability to hit the ball to all fields.
