In the last 6 months, MLB teams have signed or agreed to terms with 5 German players that were developed in Germany. In the next 2 years, I’d expect another 5-6 names to be signed as well. Germany is slowly developing into a European powerhouse and the best is yet to come
Dominican-German 🇩🇪 shortstop Kenny Fermín, a Frankfurt native born to a Dominican father and German mother, has officially signed today with the Athletics.
Bonus deal: $200,000.
He is a product of Fermin Baseball Academy.
