MLB Draft 2016: Oakland A’s sign overslot deals with two high schoolers

The Athletics have signed fourth-rounder Skylar Szynski and 16th-rounder Anthony Churlin, but they’re well short of incurring any major penalties in next year’s draft.

The Oakland Athletics have reached terms with fourth-round draft pick RHP Skylar Szynski and 16th-round pick CF Anthony Churlin, the club announced. Szynski signed for $1 million, reports Michael Caterina of the South Bend Tribune, a deal $486,500 above the $531,500 bonus pool assigned to the No. 112 overall pick. Churlin signed for $175,000, Robert Murray of Today’s Knuckleball reports, with $75,000 charged to the bonus pool.

The A’s have reached agreements with all but the two top 10 draft picks still playing in the College World Series, Florida’s A.
