The draft signing deadline

With about 21 hours until the contracts have to be signed, things are shaping up nicely for the Pirates. Chuck Finder has a positive report about the prospects of signing both Taillon and Allie, and he’s not the only one hearing good things.


From a front office exec not with the Pirates: “Also hearing PIT will ink both Taillon and Allie.”Mon Aug 16 00:09:44 via web

Signs point to #Pirates getting both deals done. @JoelAustin14: what are you hearing about Taillon and Allie? #mlbdraftMon Aug 16 05:27:32 via HootSuite

Meanwhile, if you’re wondering about any player in the Pirates’ draft class that’s currently unsigned, Tim at Pirates Prospects has a full rundown for you.

Obviously nothing’s set in stone yet and everyone will hold their breath until everything’s officially announced, but it sure seems like the Pirates are in pretty good shape when it comes to their top two picks right now. Obviously, I’ll have more to say about this as the day goes on.
