Shortstop Dansby Swanson, the first overall pick in baseball's draft last month, agreed Friday to a $6.5M signing bonus with the Diampndbacks just before the deadline for him to reach a deal.

"It was pretty close, like probably the last 10, 15 minutes," said De Jon Watson, the Diamondbacks' senior vice president of baseball operations.
