Combined with five other picks in the top 10 who have already signed for well below slot, the Rangers have spent $7.53 million of their $10.219 million bonus pool. It left them with about $2.7 million for Comeau, fourth-rounder Hudson Calhoun and eighth-rounder Kolby Branch to finish out their signings in the first 10 rounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Comeau, a high school shortstop from Austin Anderson, had a slot value of $1.81 million but is expected to get something above that. Calhoun\u2019s slot was valued at $664,000 and Branch\u2019s was valued at $236,000. Branch, a college senior, has no real leverage in bargaining and is expected to get well below that. Each of the other picks between Rounds 6-10 received $2,500 bonuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rangers trifecta of top draft picks have all agreed to deals and are expected to be introduced&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1638,27,29,28,89415,130986],"class_list":["post-381063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-brief","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news","tag-tp-globe-life-field","tag-tp-mlb-draft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
