Dodgers sign top draft pick Jeren Kendall, others ahead of deadline

There wasn’t much doubt, but the Dodgers got their Top 3 draft picks signed today before the 2 p.m. deadline — Jeren Kendall, Morgan Cooper and Connor Wong.

The Dodgers also signed 11th-round shortstop Jacob Amaya, as he foregoes his commitment to Cal State Fullerton. They have a history of spending relatively big on 11th-rounders, so it’ll be interesting to see what his bonus ends up being.

It was a little contentious at first, though.

That would be Jacob’s father, presumably named Robert. He refuted the initial report.
