Two More Sandwich Picks Sign



One sandwich pick signed and another agreed to terms today. Connecticut third baseman Mike Olt, the 49th overall pick, signed with the Rangers for $717,300. California high school righthander Taijuan Walker, the No. 43 selection, agreed to terms with the Mariners for what the Associated Press has reported is an $800,000 bonus.

Olt's bonus is nearly identical to the $717,000 that Pirates righthander Victor Black got as the No. 49 pick a year ago. Last year's No. 43 choice, Reds righthander Brad Boxberger, signed for $857,000–above the estimated MLB recommendation of $789,300 for that slot.

Editor's note: This post has been updated to correct Olt's bonus.
