This year has brought several positive news for the colombian baseball in the Big leagues.
Some of the prospects in the country have already been signed by organizations of the MLB, so they will try their luck in winter tournaments to seek to climb the main rosters.
In total there are 12 of our players who reached agreements with teams from U.S for this new campaign.
Among those signed is the barranquillero Nolan Beltran, 16 years old, who agreed to a bond with the Phillies de Philadelphia for $350,000 dollars. This player, who works as a shortstop, is the brother of pitcher Hugo Beltrán, who belongs to the Baltimore Orioles.
The great and surprising novelty in these contracts was given by the Bolivarian shortstop Michael Arroyo, who was signed by the Seattle Mariners for a $1,375,000 bonus.
In this way, the 17-year-old from Cartagena became the Colombian prospect for whom a Major League Baseball organization has paid the most, since Jorge Alfaro from Sincelejo joined the Rangers de Texas for $1,300,000.
The second most expensive player was also Cartagena John David Olmos, who was signed by the Kansas City Royals, who plays catcher and was given an $800,000 bonus.
