Shortstop Mairon De La Rosa, a switch-hitter from the Dominican Republic who is widely considered as the top international prospect in his class, has agreed to sign with the Mariners for $3.8 million, according to multiple reports. Francys Romero first reported<\/a> the news Sunday.<\/p>\n De La Rosa previously had an agreement with the New York Yankees. That deal was worth $4.3 million, per H\u00e9ctor G\u00f3mez<\/a>.<\/p>\n De La Rosa is the second highly regarded switch-hitting shortstop from the Dominican Republic verbally committed to the M\u2019s for the 2027 international free agent class, joining Eudi Yuten, who has reportedly agreed to sign with Seattle for $4 million. Yuten is regarded as a top-five prospect in the class.<\/p>\n Members of the 2027 international free agent class won\u2019t be eligible to sign until January 2027.<\/p>\n The M\u2019s have had plenty of success in the international free agent market over the past decade, dating back to when they signed three-time All-Star center fielder Julio Rodr\u00edguez in 2017. Rodr\u00edguez was the 10th-ranked international free agent in his class, per MLB Pipeline.<\/p>\n Outfielder Lazaro Montes and outfielder\/second baseman Michael Arroyo, both ranked as top 100 prospects heading into this season by MLB Pipeline<\/a>, were international free agent signings in 2022. Montes was the No. 8 prospect and Arroyo the No. 42 prospect for the 2022 class.<\/p>\n Shortstop Felnin Celesten, who appeared on various top 100 prospect lists last year, was the No. 2 prospect for the 2023 international class. And Seattle\u2019s 2025 international class was headlined by Venezuelan outfielder Yorger Bautista, the No. 6 prospect.<\/p>\n More Seattle Mariners offseason coverage<\/p>\n \u2022 Mariners acquire RHP Cooper Criswell from NY Mets<\/a>
