Alright could be a cool little deal, where do we think he ends the year?
He got those “car driving down the street with the doors open” ears. I hope he has a great career.
I believe it makes it back to back year where the Giants have signed the top guy in the class (believe Josuar was #1 last year). Good to see improvement this area
What is an “advanced player” lol

Just curious — does anyone have a sense for how frequently these signees flip?
I’ve been nervous about Hernandez getting poached by a certain team to the south
I think I need to watch less college football
Winning it all in 2032 baby!
That’s two years in a row with us signing the top international prospect. Plus Eldridge, plus us getting the 4th overall draft pick. I would say our prospect outlook is going to be viewed a lot differently by the end of this year.
Let’s goooooooooo
Great! Ready to be disappointed as we fumble his development!
So they have signed Luciano’s eventual replacement?
It’s happening!!! It’s happening!!!
This is awesome but also hard to get excited for a 17 year old kid that still needs years of development and testing. Wish him the best though. Gotta be exciting for a 17 year old.
How are we able to sign the top intl prospects 2 years in a row?
Idk how intl signings work
I love that the Giants seem to be more aggressive in the international free agent market. Many of the game’s best players come from it, and we need to be thinking outside the box in terms of acquiring and developing talent
They were expected to sign him, and I’m thrilled that they finally inked the deal. It’s gonna be exciting to read up on this kid in Roger Munter’s blog this season.
Time to trade some of the other prospects LOL.
As long as we have Josuar and Luis, we should be fine as far as prospect rankings. 😁
