Royals Agree To Deals With First-Round Picks
Briefly

The Kansas City Royals signed first-round selections Sean Gamble and Josh Hammond, as well as second-round picks Michael Lombardi and Justin Lamkin. Gamble, the 23rd overall pick, is projected to sign for approximately $4MM and is recognized for his athleticism, but concerns exist regarding his batting and defensive fit. Hammond, chosen 28th overall, is signed for $3.1975MM, and while seen as a potential third baseman, some evaluations view him better as a pitcher.
