Marlins getting greedy in negotiations with 2020 draft picks

Their six picks—all of them pitchers—each have intriguing pro potential in the eyes of leading talent evaluators because of how they performed during the abbreviated 2020 amateur baseball season, or the measurable tools they’ve shown earlier in their careers. Addressing the media shortly after the draft, Marlins director of amateur scouting DJ Svihlik said that the signing bonus amounts had already been agreed upon and insisted that contracts would be finalized by the end of June. Sounds too good to be true!
