ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers signed their top two draft picks Friday, even though it is unclear where second baseman Justin Foscue and outfielder Evan Carter will begin their professional careers.
Foscue, the 14th overall pick last week out of Mississippi State, got a $3.25 million signing bonus. That was below the slot value of just over $4 million.
Second-round pick Carter, who had committed to play at Duke, was chosen 50th overall from Elizabethton High School in Tennessee. His $1.25 million signing bonus was below the slot value that was just under $1.
