Tickets Punched

The Tribe has signed 8th round pick Alex Lavinsky, C from St Eds, to a deal with a $1mil bonus.  That's the same bonus that Texas gave #22 overall selection, prep catcher, Kellin Deglan.  Wowza.

The Pirates inked Lavinsky's high school battery mate, 100mph fireballer and 2nd round pick, Stetson Allie.  Many had speculated that Allie would skip Pittsburghatory and honor his commitment to North Carolina.  Guess not.

Update #1:  Allie gets a $2.25mil bonus.  Maybe that's why he signed.  Also, the Bucs agree with #2 overall pick Jameson Taillon.  Bryce Harper, Manny Machado and Indians top 3 Pomeranz/Washington/Wolters all remain unsigned as of 10:10 est.

Update #2:  Taillon's bonus worth about $5mil $6mil.  Word on the street is that an Indians deal with 3rd round pick Tony Wolters is highly unlikely.
