Padres Sign Top International Prospect Ethan Salas To Over $5 Million Bonus
They got their guy! San Diego wasted no time and hit the international market with a gigantic splash. The Padres Sign Top International Prospect Ethan Salas, a 16 year old that hails from Caracas, Venezuela.
Yes, you read that right, the kid barely has a license and is already hauling in the coins. But, he is worth every single cent. Ethan Salas is this year’s class number one prospect. He plays Catcher, bats left and is the younger brother of Marlins prospect, Jose Salas.
The Salas family are no strangers to the big game. In fact, they are famous for churning out some major baseball talents from their athletic gene pool. Going all the way back to Ethan’s grandfather.

Nonetheless, we really like this signing of Ethan Salas. To us, it shows that the San Diego Padres are not only trying to win the city’s first title and championship. But, remain contenders for years to come.
Catcher Austin Nola really stepped up and showed his chops during the Padres deep playoffs run; anchoring the team with his consistent play. Nola efficiently did his job with the Mets, Dodgers and Phillies; despite the team coming up just short to miss the World Series. Nevertheless, the proof was in the pudding by that point, Nola can handle pressure and get through very tough series.
However, Father Time stops for no man and eventually overtakes us all. That is never truer than in the realm of sports. Top players just can’t stay at the top forever.
Therefore, to beat the clock, teams grab up prospects. And great teams think about this super early; which the Padres are doing. Nabbing up Ethan Salas to one day fill some big shoes.
Right now the Padres are looking pretty solid at the Catcher position. They have Nola and also Campy aka Luis Campusano coming up in the ranks. Campy got some playing time last season and looked like he was shaping up to be a solid guy at the position.
Now with Salas on the horizon, the Padres can take a sigh of relief when it comes to the Catcher spot. Now it’s on to other business. Getting Ohtani, Manny and Soto all locked down.
