With the signing deadline for draft picks quickly approaching on Friday at 5 pm, Braves fans have been very interested for news regarding when the team will sign their top draft choice, prep pitcher Carter Stewart.
Over the last week or two, rumors have swirled that there were issues that came up during Stewart’s physical that resulted in the Braves wanting to alter their offer and that those initial terms were not to Stewart’s liking. Lots of different numbers, reasons, and degrees of concern were floated around (yay rumor mills), but the folks at MLB Pipeline have seemingly locked down the current state of things.
