After Ranghi Sasaki signed in Los Angeles, the San Diego Padres completed the official signing with two international players.

According to the report, the Padres have signed a contract with Carlos Alvarez, a young left-handed shooter from the Dominican Republic, and shortstop Jhoan De La Cruz, with Alvarez signing for $1 million, De La Cruz is not yet clear about the signing amount, but some say it is coming to $2 million, while Baseball America reporter Ben Badler previously estimated the amount to be between $100 and $1.5 million.

According to the official website of the major leagues, De La Cruz is ranked 21st among international players this year, and Alvarez is ranked 39th, although De La Cruz does not have any special ability, but both are above average, and at 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm), he has the ability to hit the ball into the open field, and his defense, he is a shortstop worth developing in the future.

As for Alvarez, who has grown to 6 feet 5 feet (nearly 196 centimeters) at the age of 17, the speedball has reached 93 miles (149.6 kilometers), and the scouting report on the major league website points out that he was originally an outfielder, so he uses his arms less than the average pitching rookie, in addition, his ball handling ability is above average, and other ball types are still developing, so he is also a worthy signing.
