The Rays have signed top pick Greg Jones for a slot value due of $3,027,000, the Tampa Bay Times has learned.
The signing of the shortstop from North Carolina-Wilmington is expected to be announced later today at the Trop, and Jones will be here.
The Rays took him with the No. 22 overall pick in the June 3-5 draft.
Jones is known for his speed among other tools. After drafting him the Rays said they expect him to be an impact player in the middle of the field, whether staying at short or transitioning to centerfield.
