The Toronto Blue Jays started the international signing period solidly, and it has picked up over the last couple days with the most recent signing being Kennew Blanco from Venezuela.

This is the Blue Jays third international signing since Monday, as Toronto previously closed deals with shortstop Cristopher Polanco and right-handed pitcher Alexander Valiente.

The Blue Jays have signed shortstop Kennew Blanco

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 Monday night that they have signed one of the biggest names in the 2025 international class in Kennew Blanco, an incredible shortstop out of Venezuela.

According to reports, the Blue Jays have signed him with a bonus of $900,000 which is a great deal for the potential of this young player.

Blanco is the youngest player out of the entire 2025 international class as he will not turn 17 years old until June 21, 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 who will hopefully all be a big part of the team's future.
