Joseph signed a $3 million deal with the Mariners on Monday,
MLB.com reports.
ANALYSISThe Mariners have had a great deal of recent success in the international market, signing the likes of
Julio Rodriguez,
Lazaro Montes and
Felnin Celesten in the past decade. Joseph is a very promising prospect in his own right, and he has been trending in the right direction over the past year. An athletic shortstop with plus speed and a projectable 6-foot-2 frame, Joseph has shown an impressive approach in games, so he could rocket up rankings if he performs well this year in rookie ball.
