Law: Major-League Deals For Recent Draftees
ESPN's Keith Law has an article up in which he takes a look at the difference between signing a draft pick to a major-league deal rather than a minor-league deal. With all of the talk of draft picks and contract signings following Friday's deadline, Law's article is a good way of clearing up any questions readers may have on contract statuses.
Law uses the Orioles and their first-round pick, Brian Matusz, as an example as he explains the difference between signing players to a major-league contract and a minor-league contract.
Law also points out that even players who sign major-league contracts can still see time at the minor-league level, and that signing a major-league contract immediately places the player on that club's 40-man roster, despite which level they are headed to.
