Chase Davis, Kiko Romero sign MLB contracts with Cardinals, Yankees

Arizona’s two biggest sluggers from this past season are officially professional baseball players.

Outfielder Chase Davis, a first-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2023 MLB Draft, and first baseman Kiko Romero, whom the New York Yankees took the seventh round, have signed their pro contracts.

Davis, the 21st overall selection, inked for the full slot value of $3,618,200. That’s the largest signing bonus for a former UA player, topping the $3.53 million catcher Daniel Susac got last year from the Oakland Athletics.
