Detroit Tigers ink first round draft pick Max Clark
The big domino in the Detroit Tigers’ quest to sign their 2023 draft class has fallen. First rounder, and third overall pick, outfielder Max Clark signed his contract to turn pro with the Tigers’ today. With that accomplished, signing the rest becomes more straightforward.
Clark inked his deal for a slot bonus of $7,700,000, coming in just about exactly at the slot bonus for the fourth overall pick. The third round selection came with a slot bonus of $8,341,700, so the Tigers essentially signed Clark for almost $650,000 under slot. That money will now help get the large crop of prep prospects the club selected under contract.
