The D-backs added a pair of slick-fielding shortstops to their system to start the international signing period.

According to industry sources, the club reached a $1.1 million deal with infielder Abdias De La Cruz, No. 36 on MLB.com’s Top 50 International Prospects list, along with an agreement for a $900,000 deal with infielder Yerald Nin.

The D-backs have a bonus pool of $6,262,600.

Tall and wiry, the 6-foot-3 De La Cruz has a projectable frame and room to fill out as he develops. He’s athletic with solid footwork, quick hands and overall efficient infield actions to stay at shortstop as he makes his way through the Minor League system. At the plate, he’s a contact hitter who flashes gap power, and more importantly, the ability to make hard contact in games.

De La Cruz is also a solid runner and flashes above-average arm strength. He’s been praised for his makeup and baseball IQ.

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association finalized a deal in March 2020 that addressed the international signing period during the pandemic. The 2022 international signing period runs through Dec. 15, 2022, the second year in a row the period, which previously began July 2, started in January.

The current rules also state that teams are not allowed to trade any of their international pool money. Signing bonuses of $10,000 or less do not count toward a club's bonus pool, and foreign professional players who are at least 25 years of age and have played in a foreign league for at least six seasons are also exempt
