The Toronto Blue Jays started the international signing period quite solid but have picked it up over the last couple days with the most recent signing being Kennew Blanco from Venezuela.
The Blue Jays acquired $2 million in additional international bonus pool money to sign Roki Sasaki but after he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers a few days ago, the Blue Jays seem to be taking full advantage of the additional money.
The Blue Jays announced last night that they have signed one of the biggest names in the 2025 international class in Kennew Blanco, an incredible shortstop out of Venezuela.
The Toronto Blue Jays tonight signed Venezuelan shortstop Kennew Blanco. One of the big names for their 2025 international class.
According to reports, the Blue Jays have signed him with a bonus of $900,000 which is a great deal for the potential that this young player has.
The Toronto Blue Jays have officially signed their top two players from Venezuela 🇻🇪:
SS Kennew Blanco ($900,000) SS Elenaiker Coronado ($850,000)
Blanco is the youngest player out of the entire 2025 international class as he will not be turning 17 years old until June 21st but regardless of his young age, he is one of the best players in the class of 2025.
The Blue Jays have been doing a great job of signing some promising young players over the last few days that will hopefully all be a big part of the team's future.
