The Texas Rangers are expected to announce the signing of Wyatt Langford, the #4 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, this afternoon. In connection with that, Jim Callis tweeted last night that Langford is getting an $8 million bonus.
Langford was projected by some mock drafts to go #1 overall, and the expectation was that he would be selected on the top three. After LSU Tigers Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes went 1-2, however, the Detroit Tigers selected Georgia prep outfielder Max Clark at #3. Per Jim Callis, Clark received a $7.
