Dodgers Agree To Terms With First-Rounder Jeren Kendall

By Jeff Todd | July 7, 2017 at 5:02pm CDT

5:02pm: Los Angeles has also landed Cooper ($870K) and Wong ($550K), Callis reports (Twitter links).

2:58pm: The Dodgers have agreed to terms with first-round pick Jeren Kendall, per MLB.com’s Jim Callis (via Twitter). The Vanderbilt outfielder will receive a $2.9MM bonus, according to Jon Heyman of Fan Rag (Twitter link).

Kendall, a left-handed-hitting junior, was taken with the 23rd overall pick, which came with a $2,702,700 allocation. Entering today, Los Angeles had yet to make things official with Kendall, second-rounder Morgan Cooper, and third-round pick Connor Wong.

Draft analysts split on Kendall, an accomplished college player credited by some as a five-tool player. That led MLB.com to rank him sixth among draft-eligible players. But he also placed as low as 18th (Baseball America), owing to concerns that he still swings and misses too frequently after three years at a top program.

    Hes probably the best position player in the entire draft if he can figure out how to not swing-and-miss as much.
    Big if, but huge upside here

      That’s like saying any other player is best if they can improve dramatically. Just silly.

        if he can make league average contact rates, hes a top prospect, its not like thats impossible. Its no where near saying if Dee Gordon hit 40 HRs a year, he’d be good. Its possible with some changes to Kendall’s swing

          Lol, true enough. I wish Dee Gordon hit 40 HR this year. Would put me over the top in my fantasy league.

        Well yeah but at 23 to land what was considered a top 5 talent you take the ifs. The ifs come with a potential impact talent.

          Well, the article states 6th – 18th. Not top 5 in any, but I’ll agree that it’s a great value pick at 23.

    Reds are running out of time, I think Greene is better off not signing.

      His slot was $7 million. It wasn’t gonna get much better than that.

      Well they are going to trade a couple of LH bats at the deadline. So might as well replenish lol. But seriously you draft best on the board.
