After the announcement over social media this morning, Cardinals fans were exuberant as their front office announced they had signed Dominican prodigy Jesus Dorado to a minor league contract with a signing bonus of $5,000,000.
GM Michael Girsch said "Jesus is a great player with a ton of potential and we are thrilled to have him in our organization."
Dorado said at the press conference "I'm grateful to the entire Cardinals organization which has treated me with nothing but respect since I got here...now I'm ready to hit the field and try my best."
One Cardinals fan told local news that he was "super psyched to see what this kid can do...I'll put down money he becomes a Hall of Famer."
Dorado has quickly risen to #1 on the OSA's list of top prospects, and he will certainly make an impact in the minor leagues soon.
