Ben Badler from Baseball America has the Pittsburgh Pirates in on at least two players when tomorrow's July 2nd international signing period begins. There will undoubtedly be more, but the big name at this time seems to be shortstop Kevin Sanchez from the Dominican Republic. Sanchez comes from the same trainer as Michael de la Cruz and Jeremias Portorreal, two of the top Pirates' signings over the last three years. Badler notes that Sanchez will get a bonus north of the $375,000 that Portorreal got in 2013, but it will be less than the $700,000 that de la Cruz got the previous season.
