Padres still seek a star to emerge from massive investments. Astros have set a high bar with Latin American program.
This week the Padres announced they signed a teenage catcher from Venezuela, Ethan Salas, who is Baseball America’s top-ranked prospect in this year’s international amateur class.The return on investment, however, can be immense if one of these educated guesses pans out.If Salas someday produces as an average big-leaguer over a few Padres seasons, the club stands to recoup good value even accounting for his big-league salaries.
There’s another reason, small but not insignificant, that the Padres and several other clubs are big spenders in Latin America. “It’s like the Padres can pre-qualify for a home loan, and so the agent shows them the home,” an MLB scout said this week.
