Texas Rangers sign top three draft picks

The Texas Rangers have signed Bubba Thompson, Chris Seise, and Hans Crouse, their top three picks in the MLB draft which took place this week. Thompson signed for $2.1M, Seise for $2M, and Crouse for $1.45M.

Slot money for 26, where Thompson was selected, was $2,450,100, which means he got about $350K below slot. Slot money for 29, Seise’s spot, was $2,238,900, so Seise was almost $250K below slot. Crouse’s slot figure was $926,500, however, meaning he was signed for about $525K over slot.

It was expected that the Rangers would sign all three, so this isn't a surprise, but it is good to hear that all three are under contract and ready to start their pro careers.
