DETROIT -- The Tigers' signings of top overall Draft pick Casey Mize and third-round pick Kody Clemens on Monday left one more domino to fall to complete the Tigers' Draft dealings. That came Tuesday, when second-round pick Parker Meadows signed his pro contract to join the Tigers' system and bypass college.
It's a major deal for a team that considered itself fortunate Meadows fell out of the first round and to its pick atop the second. While the Tigers were confident Mize and Clemens would bypass their senior college seasons, it was far from a guarantee with Meadows.
