Cody Bradford is, from a certain point of view, already a Texas Rangers player development success story.
Bradford was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 MLB Draft. He did get an above-slot bonus of $700,000 — the second highest of any 2019 6th rounder (behind prep catcher Ethan Hearn, who got $950,000 from the Chicago Cubs) — and coincidentally, that almost exactly matched the $699,700 slot value for the Rangers’ 3rd round pick, #86 overall. So if you like, you can view him as a third round pick.
