Young arms a boon for Braves in uneven 1st half

DENVER -- After spending the past couple weeks experiencing some unexpected extended negotiations, the Braves felt some relief on Thursday, when they reached an agreement with Kolby Allard, their top selection in the 2015 MLB Draft. The Braves have not commented on this deal, which is pending a physical.

An industry source confirmed that Allard has reached an agreement on a $3,042,000 signing bonus, which is $200,000 over the recommended slot for this year's 14th overall pick. ESPN's Keith Law was the first to report the signing bonus figure.
