Red Sox Officially Sign #3 International Prospect

New Red Sox 3B Prospect Rafael Devers
While it's been a foregone conclusion for a while now, the Red Sox today officially signed #3 international prospect Rafael Devers to a contract—with a $1.5 million signing bonus. Back on July 2nd, we wrote about his agreement with the Carmine Hose. The 6'1", 16-year old Devers is a lefty-hitting third baseman from the Dominican Republic. According to Baseball America, Devers is "the most advanced lefthanded hitter on the international market."
