MLB Draft Deadline: Reds Set To Sign Yasmani Grandal
It’s not quite official yet, but MLB.com has learned that the Reds will sign their top pick, N0. 12 overall Yasmani Grandal. Things should be finished up in the next half-hour or so, but it’s believed the University of Miami catcher will get $2.99 million and a Major League deal.
As Mayo notes, Grandal is, as of now, the first and only pick to get a Major League contract. As such, he will immediately be placed on the team’s 40-man roster.
