Right-hander Chase Burns has broken Paul Skenes' draft bonus record, landing a $9.25 million signing bonus from the Cincinnati Reds, a source told ESPN.
Burns, a Wake Forest product, was the second overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft on Sunday night. He is the only first-round pick to officially sign thus far.
First overall draft pick Travis Bazzana (Cleveland Guardians/Oregon State) and third pick Charlie Condon (Colorado Rockies/Georgia) were universally seen as the top two players in the draft, so either or both of them could best Burns' bonus before the August 1st signing deadline.
