The Mets have signed 15th-rounder Phillips Evans For $650,000. That's the highest bonus ever paid by New York outside of the first two rounds, and represents the equivalent of supplemental first-round money.

A shortstop from La Costa Canyon HS (Carlsbad, Calif.), Evans has a line-drive swing and flashes solid tools across the board, along with good instincts. He had committed to San Diego State.
