Bryce Harper, Zach Lee and the MLB Draft Deals That Beat the Deadline

The MLB Draft signing deadline day had more close calls than any game.

Entering Monday, 17 first-round picks remained unsigned, and the teams had just 24 hours to agree to terms with these future stars.

Most negotiations came down to the wire, as 13 players had yet to sign contracts a mere 30 minutes before the midnight deadline.

When the clock struck 12, 10 teams had their picks signed, sealed, and delivered.

But for three teams, their Cinderella stories never happened.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, and San Diego Padres failed to lock up their first-round selections.

For the teams that did manage to beat the clock, the future forecasts some All-Stars in the making.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest signings from the MLB signing deadline day.
