As expected, the Padres on Monday announced deals with all of their 2026 draftees outside 17th-round right-hander Denton Lord.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old Lord announced during the draft that he\u2019d be honoring his commitment to Missouri State. The Padres selected him as a long-shot flier and were all but sure heading into the weekend that Lord would indeed go to school.<\/p>\n

Monday was the deadline for draftees to sign.<\/p>\n

The Union-Tribune reported Friday that most of the class was in place, which included an under-slot deal for first-round right-hander Coleman Borthwick ($3.8 million)<\/a> and a Canadian high-school-bat record for shortstop Elliot Lascelles ($2.8 million)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previously unreported bonuses now confirmed in MLB.com\u2019s tracker include fourth-round outfielder Alex Conover ($500,000), seventh-round second baseman Joe Tiroly ($225,000) and 18th-round catcher Mark Quatrani ($250,000).<\/p>\n

The Padres also announced deals with nine undrafted free agents, where they\u2019ve produced the likes of big-league reliever David Morgan and outfield prospect Alex McCoy in recent years.<\/p>\n

To start this year\u2019s class of undrafted free agents, the Padres have signed outfielders Andrew Detlefsen (University of Texas at San Antonio), Ryan Gerety (Northeastern), McCabe Moyer (Nebraska-Lincoln) and Josh Skrowronski (Winthrop), right-handers Aidan Cochrane (East Lime HS, Conn.), Jack Pineau (Creighton), Tyler Pitzer (Mississippi State) and Logan Satter (Legion Collegiate Academy, S.C.) and left-hander Andrew Wright (Cal State Fullerton).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected, the Padres on Monday announced deals with all of their 2026 draftees outside 17th-round right-hander Denton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[165832,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-414501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-padres-2026-draft","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\/414501","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=414501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
