The Red Sox have reached agreement on a deal with Dominican shortstop Raymel Flores, according to Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com (Spanish link). Flores' signing bonus is worth $900K.
Flores, 16, is a switch-hitter and stands out for his defensive skills. This marks the second notable international signing by the BoSox this week as they inked Dominican outfielder Manuel Marcos to an $800K deal on July 4th.
