The White Sox signed Zapata to a contract that included a $1.6 million bonus, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Zapata ranked as a top-10 international amateur talent according to Baseball America, and he was the No. 2 international amateur according to MLB.com. As such, he earned the largest bonus given to an international player in White Sox history. Although he will not turn 17 until August, scouts praise his raw power, as well as his outfield arm. It will still be many years until he may reach the majors, but the signing marks the White Sox's real entrance into the international market.

2015 Fantasy Outlook
The White Sox signed Zapata to the largest signing bonus they have ever awarded to an international player during the summer of 2013. He struggled in his first professional season, but Zapata is still under 18 years old and scouts love his athleticism, power and speed. Still, he is a bit of a raw product and should not be on the radar for another few years
