Christopher Acosta
Pitcher
b. January 15, 1998, in La Vega
Signed on July 2 with the Boston Red Sox for $1.5 million.

How will your life change when you sign?
I’ll buy my mom a house.

Is that going to be your first purchase?
Yes. I’m going to give my family a better life.

What would your first purchase for yourself be?
Nothing for me. I just want to buy my brother a car.

That’s very generous that you’re planning on buying things for other people and not yourself.
Thank you.
