Driving back from Santiago to Santo Domingo, Seattle Mariners Director of Dominican Operations Eddy Toledo called his boss, Tim Kissner.
It was January 2017, a full 18 months before the Mariners would eventually sign Julio Rodriguez to a $1.75 million bonus, yet Toledo was sure of the player he d just seen. He said, I just saw a player that I would give every dime in our [international] pool budget for, Kissner said, recalling his conversation with Toledo. And I go, Eddie, we don t even know what that is. We both kind of laughed and he goes, I know but whatever it is, I want to give it to him.
