Five more Pirates draft choices signed today, but they still haven’t locked up their #1 and #2 picks. It looks like those two picks will go down to the wire.

Yep, the two HS SS's are the holdouts. Maybe Sanford is the backup plan? Hope they get both.

Here are the players who came on board today - https://x.com/_NoahHiles/status/1816960885514207449

They will sign both IMO.

Konnor Griffin will sign and be introduced at a press conference today at 11:30.

Thanks for catching that, Bobster. Glad he's on board - https://x.com/JMackeyPG/status/1818673374974943379

Griffin signed for $6,532,025, which is above the slot value for No. 9 overall at $6,216,600. His bonus put the Pirates $680,025 over their draft pool. Because they went over their bonus pool by less than 5%, they’ll be fined an additional $510,019 for the overage amount. I can't believe that BN would spend a half million in fines for being above slot value.

Brian Curley (Round 16 - college RHP) and Taylor Penn (Round 20 - HS RHP) will probably not be signing.

Doesn't look like the Pirates will sign any UDFA's either.
