Blue Jays announce 2026 international free agent signings
"Other notables included Dominican outfielders Michael Mesa and Aneudy Severino, who've reportedly signed for $900,000 and $700,000, respectively. Those signings were the second- and third-richest handed out by the franchise, behind Caricote's bonus. In total, the Blue Jays have signed 11 pitchers, six infielders, five catchers and four outfielders from the 2026 class so far, and they can continue to sign international players until the current signing period concludes on Dec. 15."
"Recent international signings such as infielder Juan Sanchez ($997,500 signing bonus in 2025) and right-hander Silvano Hechavarria ($240,000 signing bonus in '24) have already made waves in the organization's pipeline, with the latter finishing last season at high-A Vancouver during his first year in North America. Now the hope is that they can continue that promising trend with the latest crop of international free-agent signees."
The Blue Jays have signed multiple international prospects from the 2026 class, including high-bonus signings for Dominican outfielders Michael Mesa ($900,000) and Aneudy Severino ($700,000). The club has added 11 pitchers, six infielders, five catchers and four outfielders so far, with the international signing period open through Dec. 15. Toronto entered the period with a $5.94 million bonus pool after a $500,000 reduction for signing Anthony Santander and has forfeited $1 million from its 2027 pool after acquiring Dylan Cease. The team acquired $2 million in bonus funds via trade and used resources to sign Korean pitcher Seojun Moon, the first Korean-born international signee, while recent signees Juan Sanchez and Silvano Hechavarria have already advanced in the system.
