The Braves love lefthanded pitching, and word in Latin America is that they like Dominican power lefty Edgar Ferreira this year. Scouts have called Ferreira's asking price exorbitant, but he has a chance to push seven figures with his bonus. The Braves are active in Panama again after signing Panamanian catcher Christian Bethancourt last year for $600,000. They have also been connected to Venezuelan shortstop Humberto Valor, though there's no clear leader for his services.

Baseball America previews the international free agent signing period
We should know by the end of the day or tomorrow who the Braves signed. There seem to be a lot more team in the mix this year than there normally are.

With us taking a safe pick in the draft, it’d be nice to see us be aggressive in the international free agent market. Oftentimes we can consider a international signee to be like a high first-round pick, so I hope we land some guys.

Braves sign 22 year old Nicaraguan outfielder. I assume he will start his career at some point this summer.

Kiley McDaniel says that the Braves like a shortstop for next July 2nd, named Claudio Baez.
