The Diamondbacks have agreed to terms with Venezuelan shortstop Ronny Mejias for a bonus of around $300,000, according to international sources.
Mejias, a 16-year-old switch-hitter from Zulia, was one of the better hitters on the market with an advanced swing, though he probably won't stay at shortstop. Earlier in the week, the Diamondbacks also signed speedy 16-year-old center fielder Yorman Garcia out of Venezuela.
