Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 26, 2023 12:48 pm

The Minnesota Twins agreed to a $7,144,200 signing bonus with No. 5 overall pick Walker Jenkins ahead of Tuesday\'s deadline. He became the final first-round selection to reach a deal.

Only one player chosen in the first 10 rounds failed to reach an agreement by the deadline: UC Irvine outfielder Caden Kendle, selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 10th round with the 305th pick.

The Arizona Diamondbacks spent the most on the draft at $16,185,700, followed by the Atlanta Braves ($15,747,200), Baltimore Orioles ($14,502,400), Boston Red Sox ($14,345,600), Chicago Cubs ($14,255,600), Cincinnati Reds ($13,785,200) and Cleveland Guardians ($13,170,900).
