Tuesday Draft Signings

  • Per Jim Callis of MLB.com: Second-rounder Matt Gorski, Indiana OF, signed with the Pirates for $1M (slot value was $1,243,600). Callis writes that he's got a chance to be 20-20 CF with a solid arm.
  • Supplemental second rounder, Houston 3B Jared Triolo agreed to a $870,700 (full slot value).
  • Third round Arizona CF Matt Fraizer inked a $525K deal (slot value was $610,800). He hit .412/.452/.565 in injury-shortened season.
  • LHP Nick Lodolo of TCU signed with the Reds for $5,432,400. The Pirates drafted him in 2016 out of HS in the second round and offered him $1.75M per reports, the max they had available remaining in the pool, so he made a wise financial choice to pass.
  • Per the Tribune Review's Kevin Gorman, the Pirates also signed seventh-rounder USC OF Blake Sabol; Sacramento State eighth-rounder RHP Austin Roberts and 10th-rounder Cameron Junker, RHP from Notre Dame. No numbers are out on them.
All six players were assigned to the Pirates’ Class A short-season affiliate, the West Virginia Black Bears of the NY-PA League.
