The Blue Jays have signed Dominican shortstop Dawel Lugo for $1.3 million.

Lugo, a righthanded hitter from Bani, was one of the top 16-year-old hitters available from the Dominican Prospect League. At 6 feet, 170 pounds, many scouts believe Lugo will end up at third base. Lugo so far has the top confirmed bonus for a Latin American infielder since the international signing period opened on July 2.
