Earlier this evening, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline broke the news that Pittsburgh Pirates fourth round pick Michael Kennedy signed for an over-slot bonus. The Pirates announced that they also signed 13th round pick Miguel Fugencio on Wednesday. They also officially announced the signing of non-drafted free agent Ryan Velazquez.
Here’s the selection announcement and player page for Fulgencio.
Here’s our updated draft tracker with all known bonuses.
Best name of the draft. Just rolls off the tongue.
He will be 30 by the time he gets to AAA, at the speed which the Pirates promote players
To me, Fulgencio is the picture definition of a lottery ticket. Super high beta on what he could be – not much mileage on the arm, recent big velo jump, but already 23. He’ll be interesting to follow.
Moar signings! MOAR SIGNINGS!!
SIGN ‘EM ALL!!!! AND MOAR!!!
MOARRRRRRR
Now let’s get Johnson signed. No additional delays.
One Jason Delay is enough for you?
Sorry. I had to. Bad joke.
