With Minor League Baseball underway, World Baseball Network revisited the 2025 international signing period, which opened on January 15 and ushered another wave of global talent into MLB systems.
In Part 1 of our series, we covered the $6.5 million signing of Japanese ace Roki Sasaki by the Los Angeles Dodgers, broke down the MLB Pipeline Top 50, and examined trends in scouting, bonus pool strategy, and rising nations like Venezuela and The Bahamas.
This report looks closely at team-by-team spending during the signing period, outlines which organizations exhausted their international bonus pools, and identifies every player who received a signing bonus of $300,000 or more, alongside a complete list of all players signed.
Elian Peña, MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 international prospect, became the headliner of the Mets’ 2025 class by signing for a franchise-record $5 million bonus. As Will Sammon wrote for The Athletic, scouts consider Peña a “one-in-every-five-years type of situation,” and Mets officials believe he could become a high-impact on-base threat regardless of future defensive position.
Several clubs, including the Athletics, Reds, Tigers, Marlins, Brewers, Twins, Mariners, and Rays, spent their full $7,555,500 bonus pools. Others operated with lower limits ranging from $5.15 million to $6.9 million, depending on competitive balance allotments and previous spending penalties.
Triple-A opened the 2025 Minor League Baseball calendar on March 28. Double-A follows on April 4, with High-A and Low-A leagues beginning April 8 and April 15, respectively. Rookie-level complex leagues in Florida and Arizona start on May 5. The Dominican Summer League’s 39th season is expected to begin in June.
All signing data and bonus figures are sourced from MLB.com’s official January 15 report and Baseball America’s 2025 MLB International Signings Tracker, which includes team bonus pool totals, reported bonuses of $300,000 or more, and the full list of international players signed during the period.
Below is the full list of players signed by team during the 2025 international signing period, with all bonuses of $300,000 or more included.
