Only two of the Tigers’ top 10 picks in the 2017 MLB Draft remain unsigned.
One is their first-rounder, right-hander Alex Faedo, who is pitching for Florida in the College World Series and can’t sign until that run is over.
The other is fifth-rounder Sam McMillan, a high-school catcher from Florida who could prove to be a tough sign.
He is committed to the Florida Gators.
The Tigers seemed to acknowledge the challenge in signing prep players, especially outside of the first few rounds, where the money is really good. Slot value for McMillan’s spot, at No.
