Max Scherzer joined the Diamondbacks with moments to spare.
Scherzer, the last remaining unsigned first-round pick from the 2006 draft, agreed in principle to a major league contract worth $4.3 million in guaranteed money (and as much as $6 million), pending the approval of Major League Baseball. He came to terms with the club minutes before the 11:59 p.m. ET deadline, after which he would have re-entered the 2007 draft.
