MLB free agency is still on fire, so the four most expensive Latino players in this market will be analyzed, with a view to getting a team by 2023.
The Puerto Rican shortstop is the coveted fruit in terms of Latin Americans of the current free agency. And it is that the American Rookie of the Year in 2015 and Gold Glove in 2021 comes from collecting 35 million dollars with the Minnesota Twins in 2022, so he is looking for a similar amount per season but within a multi-year agreement.
The 74 home runs that the Venezuelan has in the last four seasons, is the third most for catchers in all of MLB, so the invitee to three All-Star Games, who is also a good home plate defender, has a market value of 16.4 million per year, according to the specialized website Spotrac.
Although he will have to face 2023 at the age of 37, the Dominican would cost around $14,000,000 next season, largely due to the effective 3.35 in clean lines he left over 135.1 innings for the Chicago White Sox in 2022.
“El Pito” played his first nine MLB seasons with the White Sox, an organization that paid him $19.6 million in 2022 in which the two-time All-Star posted .304 points, .378 OBP, 15 home runs and 75 pushed. The Cuban veteran is still a first-rate starter, so he is in a position to agree to around US$12,000,000 per season.
