According to Baseball America's Ben Badler, the Rangers have agreed to terms with 16-year-old Venezuelan Luis Sardinas.

Sardinas, a switch-hitting shortstop, was considered one of the best defenders on the international free agent market. Badler reports he has "excellent hands" and "good range." The youngster is expected to receive a signing bonus over $1MM.
