Marlins, First-Rounder Braxton Garrett Agree To Deal

By Steve Adams | July 15, 2016 at 9:57am CDT

9:57am: Garrett’s bonus is $4,145,900, according to Callis (Twitter link). That’s the maximum amount of money the team was able to pay without being hit with a luxury tax, he notes in a followup tweet.

8:50am: The Marlins and first-round pick Braxton Garrett, the lone remaining unsigned first-rounder, have agreed to terms, tweets Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Garrett, he adds, is in Miami right now to take his physical with the club. The deal comes in just under the wire, as the deadline to sign 2016 draftees is today at 5pm ET.

Garrett, a high school left-hander from Alabama, rated third among this year’s draft prospects in the eyes of ESPN’s Keith Law, while MLB.com (link) and Baseball America (link) each rated him 10th on their respective rankings. Law wrote that Garrett already has an average fastball that he commands well in addition to a plus curveball. BA praises not only his plus curve but also a changeup that shows “excellent promise,” noting that he could ultimately end up with three above-average pitches. Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com agree that the changeup could develop into a plus offering and add that Garrett has the upside of a No. 2 starter in the Majors.

Specific terms of Garrett’s agreement remain unclear at this juncture, though his No. 7 overall slot came with a $3,756,300 value. Assuming all goes well on Garrett’s physical, the Marlins will have signed all of their picks within the top 10 rounds of the draft.

    What would happen if they did not get a deal done in time?

      I believe they get a pick next year and he’ll have to enter the draft again next year.

        Yes, true, like what happened with Brady Aiken previously.

        he could only enter the draft again if he didnt go to a Division 1 school, or else he’d be waiting until 2019.

      Garrett would go on to pitch at Vandy possibly even building his stock and be most likely a contender for the #1 overall spot in 2 years.

    Marlins would get an additional pick in first round next year one slot below (8th overall selection).
