    Hey tellitlikeitis. Are there Venezuelan Academies from other MLB Teams? Just curious.

    Spotrac has the bonuses for the IFA classes: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/offseason/spending/_/year/2026

    (click the international tab)

    Albert Fermin - $2.3 million
    Randy Arias - $1.4 million
    Imanol Feliz - $700,000
    Jack Valbrune - $375,000
    Sebastian Mendez - $225,000
    Maximilliano Villanueva - $40,000

    Carlos Sandoval is the only player who signed on January 15 whose bonus was not disclosed.

    The following players signed for $10,000:
    Brayan Mendez
    Fraimy Sanchez
    Angel Alcantara
    Thomas Sveyda

    Undisclosed bonus - these players probably signed for $10,000 or less, and/or were first eligible to sign during a previous IFA signing period.

    Jeans Carrizalez
    Alexander Huerta
    Cristian Ron
    Frederi Altagracia
    Joel Jimenez
    William Perez
    Cesar Pastrano

    One signing came up on the transactions page as C Jesus Terán was signed on Tuesday.

    Terán is a 17-year-old catcher from Venezuela. GIven that we're already three months into the current signing period, he probably received a small bonus.
