The Red Sox’s seemingly magical season may have hit a bit of a snag: According to Peter Gammons, Florida outfielder Jud Fabian will not sign after the Red Sox took him in the second round.
Per Gammons, the Red Sox will not offer Fabian $3 million — a number two teams behind the Red Sox were reportedly willing to offer.
The slot value for the No. 40 pick is $1.86 million. The deadline to sign is August 1, so if this is a negotiating tactic by Fabian, the two sides still have some time to come together.
