We also have bonus information on sixth round pick J.T. Brubaker, who was officially signed on Friday. He got $200,000, which is a savings of $46,500 over his slot amount.
Ninth round pick Bret Helton signed for $150,000, which is $7,600 under his slot amount. Trevillian signed for $150,000 over his slot amount, so at this point, the Pirates are almost $100,000 over their draft bonus pool.
There should be numerous signings announced tomorrow, including first round pick Kevin Newman and #32 overall pick Ke’Bryan Hayes. Only the three picks from Friday have officially been announced, Brubaker, Helton, and eighth round pick Seth McGarry, who hasn’t had his bonus announced yet.
Our draft tracker has been updated.
