The Texas Rangers have signed Aaron Zavala, their 2021 second draft choice in the MLB Draft out of the University of Oregon, per reports. The Rangers also signed 18th round draft pick Kyle Larsen.
Larsen is a righthanded high school pitcher who reportedly is getting a $575,000 bonus. That is more than the Rangers would have been able to pay Larsen without forfeiting a draft pick if they didn’t sign Zavala. No word yet on the bonus for Zavala, but it sounds like it would by around or a little below slot.
The Rangers have apparently signed all their picks in the first ten rounds.
