Two newspapers in the Dominican Republic are reporting that the Mariners have signed Dominican outfielder Guillermo Pimentel. ESPN’s Jorge Arangure confirmed the signing with Pimentel’s trainer, saying the bonus was for the long-rumored $2 million that Pimentel was expected to receive.

Pimentel, 16, was one of the best hitters available on the market thanks to a short swing and plus-plus power potential. Pimentel’s $2 million bonus is so far the third-highest thus far for a Latin American player behind Cardinals outfielder Wagner Mateo ($3.1 million) and Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez ($3 million). The Rangers were believed to also have strong interest in Pimentel.
