Dominican outfielder Cris Rodriguez headlined the first day of the interactional signing period for the Tigers, signing for a franchise-record $3.2 million.

On the first day 2025 international signings can be formalized, the Tigers got four quick signatures, including prized prospect Cris Rodriguez.

The Detroit Tigers will unveil their latest international signing class when the new signing period opens this week. For these teenage prospects, it marks the first step on a long and uncertain journey to the Major Leagues.

The Detroit Tigers' top international prospect was part of a trade they made at last year's deadline with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
