The New York Mets and the Los Angeles Angels announced Tuesday that right‑handers Cooper Dossett and Tate McGuire have each signed their initial major‑league contracts, marking the latest step in a draft class that has already begun to take shape.
Both players received a slot value of $150,000, a figure that aligns with the slot recommendations for the 17th and 14th rounds respectively, and the deals come as the deadline for unsigned draftees looms on July 27.
A wave of commitments
The signings follow a cascade of agreements that have already seen first‑round pitchers Carson Wiggins and Hunter Dietz agree to terms with the New York Mets and the New York Yankees, while catcher Ryder Helfrick chose the Arizona Diamondbacks and outfielder Damian Ruiz reportedly headed to the Cincinnati Reds.
Reliever Gabe Gaeckle joined the Athletics, left‑hander Kuhio Aloy signed with the Mets, and infielder Camden Kozeal committed to the Miami Marlins. Transfer commit Wills McGinnis from Georgia State opted for the Boston Red Sox, and Christopher Diaz from Florida Gulf Coast pledged to the Seattle Mariners.
Only two of the twelve Razorbacks selections remain unsigned — pitcher Parker Coil and junior college transfer Ben Cleary — while the rest of the cohort appears poised to finalize agreements before the deadline.
