A’s, Olson Agree On $1,079,700



The Athletics have agreed to terms with supplemental first-round pick Matt Olson on a $1,079,700 bonus, matching the assigned value for his No. 47 slot.

Olson was a two-way star at Parkview HS (Lilburn, Ga.), which won its second straight Georgia 5-A state title as well as the national championship in 2012. He'll focus on hitting as a pro, as he has the bat to produce for average and power. He also has a strong arm. He had committed to Vanderbilt.

How much do the A's have to play with for their remaining picks? What are the chances that both Sanburn and Twomey sign?

Check out our A’s draft database here. I think they’ll get both guys done. Not a lock, but I bet it happens.
