First-round pick Daniel Susac signs with Athletics

The Daniel Susac era is officially over at Arizona after the two-time All-American catcher signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.

Susac, whom Oakland took with the 19th pick in last week’s MLB Draft, will receive a $3,531,200 signing bonus, the full “slot value” for that pick. That’s the largest bonus for a UA player in program history, topping the $2.5 million that catcher Austin Wells got from the New York Yankees as a first-round pick in 2020.
