Anyone heard anything on the below? Know who it is?
"The Reds, Pirates, Red Sox, and Rangers are all thought to have seven-figure bonuses lined up for four players from the Dominican Republic."

This is certainly welcome news. Hopefully the Reds start to be players in the latin market like everyone else. The article mentions Malvin Valdez and Ariel Almonte.

Do the 7 figures include the pennies?

They gave away a Joey Votto Funko a year or two ago. A George Clinton Funko has to exist somewhere, though, if there's any justice.

Ariel Almonte, OF Dominican Republic
The Reds are linked to two Dominican outfielders expected to be among the highest paid players in the 2020 class. One is Malvin Valdez, an athletic, tooled-up player who still has some rawness to his game. The other is Almonte, a 6-foot-4 lefty whose price tag looks to be in the $1.5 to $2 million range. Almonte has a short stroke for his size with good pitch recognition and easy power. His plus arm should fit in right field. He trains with German.

Malvin Valdez and Ariel Almonte would be huge. Potentially almost as high ceiling as Yorman Rodriguez & Juan Doran. :evil:

Interestingly, both are grandsons of Ryne Duren.
