Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s have signed top draft pick Jamie Arnold for a bonus equal to his slot value. The big lefty has yet to hit the Top 100 on MLB Pipeline, which still omits new draftees. But Keith Law at the Athletic includes new picks on his latest Top 60 list, on which Arnold is included as the only Athletic at No. 43.
Law notes that Arnold is likely to rise to the majors quickly, just as the A’s last two top picks, Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz have done.
