Per the DSL Mets page on Instagram and a Mets Press Release, the Mets have signed 27 players on the first day of the international signing period.
The period starts today and goes until December 15, 2023. According to MLB.com the Mets base signing pool is $5,284,000.
The Mets only officially announced the signings when the physicals were completed.
Per MLB.com: signings include: "catcher Daiverson Gutierrez, the No. 27-ranked prospect on the top 50 international list...outfielder Anthony Baptist, who ranks No. 29, and No. 43 Cristopher Larez (SS from Venezuela - $1.5M)."
SNY.TV: "Gutierrez has plus-power from the catcher position, and has drawn some comparisons to Francisco Alvarez...Baptist is considered one of the speediest players in this year’s international class, and he will likely continue to develop as a center fielder...Larez is a five-tool shortstop, per MLB.com, and the hope is his power will continue to develop as he gets older and stronger."
NY Post: Mets sign highly-regarded international prospect Daiverson Gutierrez. "Gutierrez, from Venezuela, received a $1.9 million signing bonus, according to sources. He is considered a power right-handed bat with a plus arm who is advanced the behind the plate."
