The Ariaonz Diamondbacks have plenty of great players within their organization, with the Major League level holding a few stars worth being excited about.

Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte are obvious answers, but the D-Backs are also getting elite production from Geraldo Perdomo, the star shortstop who is just 26 years old.

And now, according to Francys Romero of Beisboldfr.com, the Diamondbacks are adding another member of the Perdomo family to the organization, as they're signing Geraldo's brother to a contract with a $40,000 signing bonus.

"The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially signed Dominican OF Yeraldo Perdomo, brother of MLB infielder Geraldo Perdomo," Romero reports. "Bonus deal: $40,000. A right-handed hitting corner outfielder with power potential."

This is a fun addition for the Diamondbacks farm system, as they're adding an intriguing prospect that also happens to be related to Geraldo Perdomo, one of the Diamondbacks best players right now.

While it might be a long time until Yeraldo can make a case for the big leagues, it's still a fun addition for the organization to keep the Perdomo brothers together.

It doesn't happen often, but it would be possible if the D-Backs extend Geraldo so that at some point in the future, both Perdomo brothers share the field at the same time.

Yeraldo is a ways away from the MLB level, but that doesn't take away from how fun this signing is for the Diamondbacks.

Keeping the family together is always a fun story, and to have the Perdomos reunited in the D-Backs organization is a fantastic story.
