We heard last week that top international prospect Lucius Fox was signing with the Giants, but I'm always nervous until the deal is official. What if another team swoops in? Is it LexCorp? I'll bet LexCorp is the one with the bigger offer. Don't trust them, Lucius!
The Giants announced the deal on Wednesday, and the young shortstop will even be at AT&T Park today. That seems pretty official. The Giants also announced all of their signings so far, some of which I knew about, and some of which I'm finding out about for the first time. Here's the table from the original press release:
