The Miami Marlins are thin on the farm. For that reason, they decided to stockpile in their greatest area of need in the 2017 draft. The organization felt that it got several late-round steals, and didn’t mind slapping their wallet down to ink them to a contract.
The same holds true for Montana Parsons. Miami loves his upside. They love his upside so much, they paid out a $100,000 signing bonus to get him to come aboard. It’s worth noting the signing bonus of the previous three players combined was $5,000.
In limited action, Parsons performed well.
