PrintI can't find a good list of signings so I compiled one. Here are the top 10 signing bonuses for this years signing period. There is a longer list on my blog. I think I have 48 guys listed and another 14 that haven't signed. I don't have everyone, but it's the best I know of and it's a work in progress.
Jose Iglesias , SS , BOS 8 Million
Miguel Sano , SS , MIN 3.15 Million
Gary Sanchez , C , NYY 2.5 Million
Guillermo Pimentel , OF , SEA 2 Million
Jose Vinicio , SS , BOS 1.95 Million
Cheslor Cuthbert , 3B , KC 1.35 Million
Juan Urbina , LHP , NYM 1.25 Million
Luis Sardinas , SS , TEX 1 Million
Victor Payano , P , BOS 0.9 Million
Jorge Polanco , SS , MIN 0.75 Million

Damien Arredondo
had age/identity issues, so he ended up getting suspended and not signing. I thought there were some issues with Payano as well. And Sanchez got around 3 million, last I heard

Thanks for the Arredondo info
I only found one place that said he signed, so I questioned it. There is differing info on Sanchez, 2.5 some places 3 mil others. One place+ said he hadn’t signed.

Thought I had heard "seven figures" for Solano

A few notes
a) Payano did not sign with the sox after he failed his physical.
b) Sanchez signed for $3.0m.
c) That list on your site includes at least one guy from last year, Santo Franco (who actually had his contract voided due to Agegate).
I have that note about Franco
on my scouting report portion of my spreadsheet. I was going to list him in the FA portion, just missed that. Thanks.
Thanks for the Payano and Sanchez info.

Jose Iglesias
I don’t know who he is, but $8 million. Is that a typo?
Nope, that's right
He a Cuban SS.

More or less correct
He got a 4 year 8.25 MLB contract, with “only” 6 million of that coming in the form of a bonus. He’s playing in the AFL right now and acquitting himself pretty nicely.
Thanks for the help guys
Getting accurate and up to date info is tough.

Max Kepler
German Outfielder signed for 950,000 I believe he is still in high school in Germany though, I believe it is his senior year right now….
Deolis Guerra = Daniel Cabrera ?
I tend to think so

He's down in Fort Myers.
He’s finishing his senior year in Florida while he trains.
"I couldn't do that. Could you do that? Why can they do it? Who are those guys?"
When asked about
Kepler’s signing bonus, the Twins said it was not anywhere near the reported $750,000. Who knows, that is the game we play with international signings.
He is in Florida and they expect him to play in GCL next year.

Whats the deal with Pitcher Edgar Ferreira?
I read on Jorge Arangure’s twitter he was close to signing and working out with teams about a month ago and still no signing?
Does anyone know where to find this info for past years?
A friend of mine is trying to analyze the economics of international signings, but he hasn’t been able to find enough data. Is there a site that has compiled international signing info leaguewide or for a specific team over the course of several years?
