NEW YORK — The Yankees continue to stockpile money to spend on the world amateur scene.

They sent lefty pitcher Caleb Frare to the White Sox in exchange for $1.5 million of international bonus pool allowance.

That brings the international bonus pool figure the Yankees have acquired to $2.5 million in two days.

Late Saturday night, they got $1 million from the Cardinals in exchange for relievers Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos. The Yankees also received minor-league first baseman Luke Voit.

The Yankees started with a $4.983,500 bonus pool allowance. They now have at least $7,483,500. They also got an unreported amount of bonus money when they sent righty Chad Whitmer to Milwaukee in mid-June.

According to MLB.com’s Jessie Sanchez, the Yankees set the stage for them to sign Cuban righty Osiel Rodriguez, whom MLB.com ranked the No. 9 best international prospect in this year’s class. Sanchez said the deal with the Yankees was expected to be for about $1.1 million.

Frare, 25, was 4-1 with a 0.62 ERA in 31 games and 43 2/3 innings at Double-A Trenton this season. He made one Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre appearance.

The Yankees drafted Frare in the 11th round in 2012.

Here’s the Yankees’ press release on the deal:

The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired international signing bonus pool money from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for LHP Caleb Frare.
