The agent for Dominican shortstop Miguel Sano says the Minnesota Twins have agreed to sign his client for a bonus of $3.15 million.
Sano's agent, Rob Plummer, says he expects an agreement to be signed this week.
Twins general manager Bill Smith declined comment Tuesday.
Major League Baseball, as it does with many young Dominican players, investigated Sano's age and identity earlier this year. His identity was verified, Plummer says, and the age investigation was inconclusive. Sano says he is 16 years old.
Sano is 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. His favorite player is Florida's Hanley Ramirez.
