BALTIMORE -- The international amateur signing period begins on Wednesday. The Rangers won't make a big splash, but they are still trying to sign talent out of Latin America.

The Rangers are limited to what they can spend because they exceeded last year's limits in signing pitcher Marcos Diplan, infielder Yeyson Yrizarri and outfielder Jose Almonte among others. It was considered an excellent haul but also limits them this time around.

The Rangers are limited to approximately $2 million in spending but can not spend more than $250,000 on any one player.
