Red Sox catching prospect Daniel Flores died Wednesday of complications from cancer, according to team president/CEO Sam Kennedy. Flores, 17, had been in Boston receiving treatment.
The Red Sox signed the highly regarded switch-hitting catcher out of Venezuela this past summer to a signing bonus of $3.1 million.
Baseball America rated Flores the second-best prospect in the international class. He had a power bat and a strong arm, according to scouting reports.
