First-rounder Coleman Borthwick<\/a> is among the draftees who\u2019ve agree to deals with the Padres, as he\u2019s signed for $3.8 million to forgo a commitment to Auburn, the Union-Tribune confirmed.<\/p>\n

MLB Pipeline first reported Borthwick\u2019s deal, which comes in under the $4.22 million recommendation for the No. 21 overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n

Second-round shortstop Elliot Lascelles signed for $2.8 million as reported earlier in the week, a record for Canadian high school bat.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other deals confirmed for Padres draftees include North Carolina right-hander Ryan Lynch (3rd round, $1 million), George Washington catcher Robbie Lavey (4th round, $600,000), Kansas State right-hander James Guyette (5th round, $400,000), Arizona State shortstop Nu\u2019u Contrades (6th round, $300,000) and NC State right-hander Chris McHugh (11th round, $170,000).<\/p>\n

The Padres have $9.5 million to spend on the 2026 draft class<\/a>, with deals expected with 20 of the team\u2019s 21 picks.<\/p>\n

The one holdout appears to be 17th-round right-hander Denton Lord, a day 1 talent that fell because of a strong commitment to Mississippi State.<\/p>\n

Lord, a teammate of Borthwick\u2019s at South Walton High in Florida, announced after the fifth round of the draft on July 12, according to The Clarion Ledger<\/a>, that he would play for Mississippi State. The Padres drafted Lord as a late-round long shot.<\/p>\n

Monday is the deadline to sign 2026 draftees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First-rounder Coleman Borthwick is among the draftees who\u2019ve agree to deals with the Padres, as he\u2019s signed for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[164751,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-411400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-padres-2026-draft-class","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
