Former Georgia Bulldogs star Charlie Condon, who the Colorado Rockies selected with the No. 3 overall pick in this year's MLB draft, landed a record-tying $9.25 million bonus in his contractual agreement with the team.
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the news on Condon, whose bonus matches the deal No. 2 overall pick Chase Burns struck with the Cincinnati Reds. They now co-hold the MLB record for the most up-front money given to a drafted player, per Passan.
Both surpassed Pittsburgh Pirates ace and 2023 No. 1 overall pick Paul Skenes' $9.
