The club has not confirmed the signings.

The Pirates have found success in the international market under Rene Gayo, their director of Latin American scouting, typically by spreading around their resources rather than investing heavily in a single player. That strategy continued Sunday on what has become known in baseball as "International Signing Day."

According to Sanchez, the Pirates also signed shortstops Norkis Marco ($250,000) and Gregory Custodio ($230,000), infielder Emilson Rosado ($135,000), left-handers Yeison Santos ($110,000) and Luis David Peralta ($110,000), right-hander Brayan Torres ($180,000) and catcher Jommer Hernandez ($250,000), plus 11 other players between the ages of 17-20.
