The Mariners have reportedly made another notable signing to add to their international amateur class, signing 19 year old outfielder Víctor Labrada Rodríguez (commonly referred to as Víctor Labrada) out of Cuba. The deal, per Francys Romero, is for $350,000 and will come out of the Mariners 2019-20 international free agent signing pool. While Labrada has not been heavily covered by stateside scouting, the word is that he is an exceptional speedster who should be capable of playing all three outfield spots.
Labrada played for Cuba’s U-18 National Team which won the Pan-American Games in 2018, knocking a home run in his first plate appearance and hitting well across the entire tournament.
