Earlier today we learned that the Astros signed fourth-round pick Rio Ruiz for $1.85MM, well over the slot recommendation for his pick. Here's more on Ruiz and today's other draft signings..
- Ruiz's signing effectively ends any chance Houston had of inking eleventh-rounder Hunter Virant, writes Jim Callis of Baseball America. The California high school left-hander dropped in the draft because of his demand for a seven-figure bonus.
- Rays second-round selection Spencer Edwards announced via Twitter that he has signed with the club. The Texas high school shortstop was tabbed with the No. 88 pick.
- The Tigers have agreed to terms with the club's 23rd round draft selection, right-hander Drew Harrison, according to Director of Media Relations Brian Britten (via Twitter). The University of Oklahoma product stands at 6'4" and was once a coveted prospect for his ability at the plate.
