The Tigers have emerged as one of the most active teams on the international market in recent years, and that trend has continued into 2022.

The club has signed 6-foot shortstop Javier Osorio, who ranks No. 13 on MLB.com’s Top 50 International Prospects list. According to industry sources, the deal is for $2.2 million. Detroit also signed shortstop Samuel Gil for $1.25 million, and catcher Josue Breceno and shortstop Heison Sanchez for $800,000 apiece.

The Tigers have $5,721,500 in bonus pool money.

Overall, the athletic Osorio projects to be an average defender with a plus arm. He has a chance to stay at shortstop for a long time because of his instincts, good footwork and soft hands.

He also projects to be an above-average runner with good instincts and base-stealing potential.

At the plate, Osorio has a chance to be a run producer because of his power potential.

The 16-year-old trains with Wilfredo Polidor, a member of MLB’s Trainer Partnership Program, in the Dominican Republic.

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, 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 old and have played in a foreign league for at least six seasons are also exempt.
