The Giants announced the signing of 23 foreign talents, including an outfielder from the Dominican Republic who was rated as one of the top prospects in this year's class. According to MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez, outfielder Rayner Arias will receive the biggest bonus of $2.8 million. Arias, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-handed bat, was ranked 15th among foreign prospects by MLB Pipeline. He received more than half of the Giants' $5.3 million pool. According to Sanchez, Arias, the son of a former minor leaguer, has been likened to White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez because he has "an advanced approach at the plate and a solid feel for the strike zone." His bonus is the highest paid out by the Giants since Lucius Fox received $6 million in 2015. Arias was one of eight players signed out of the Dominican Republic. The Giants also signed 11 Venezuelans, two Mexicans, one Curacaoan, and one Taiwanese.
