The New York Yankees‘ first round draft selection already put pen to paper on a long-term deal with the team. The catcher, best known for his offensive prowess, is eager to start his career with the organization that already drafted him once a couple of years ago.
The slugging backstop thinks that it is only a matter of time before he is hitting drives to Yankee Stadium‘s gaps and over the outfield walls.
The deal, worth $2.5 million, was slightly above slot value for the 28th pick, which is $2,493,900.
“The Yankees and I always had a very good relationship, and leading up to [this year’s Draft], we had a lot of great conversations,” Wells said.
