The Milwaukee Brewers' organization has added an incredible name.
Ricky Moneys is the newest member of the Brew Crew.
Moneys is a powerful 16-year old shortstop out of the Dominican Republic.
Baseball America's Ben Badler reported that Moneys will be signing with the Brewers and shared this video on X:
Ricky Moneys will be one of the Milwaukee Brewers’ top international signings this week.

A Brewers fan quickly pointed out that it doesn't get much better than that name:

How much money will it cost the Brewers to sign Moneys? Probably plenty.
But it could be worth it.
Players with the athleticism, smoothness and body of Moneys can often become stars.
The Brewers will take the chance that he develops into a homegrown guy who ascends in their system to the major leagues.
