Red Sox sign 27 of 39 picks in 2015 Draft

The deadline for signing players was this past Friday.

The Red Sox spent $7,589,000 on signing bonuses this year, bringing their 14-year total since 2002 to $101,588,083, the third highest in the Major Leagues. Only the Pirates and Royals have spent more in signing their Draft picks in that 14-year period.

Outfielder Andrew Benintendi, Boston's first-round selection this season, recently started his professional career with Class A (short-season) Lowell.

The seventh overall pick in the Draft, Benintendi won the Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the best player in college baseball.
