Miguel Sime News: Gets big over-slot bonus
Sime agreed to a contract with the Nationals on Tuesday that included a $2 million signing bonus, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
Slot value for the 111th overall pick was only $687,800, but Washington was able to coax the high-school righty from Brooklyn out of a commitment to LSU with the over-slot bonus. Sime has touched triple digits with his fastball, and the 18-year-old will report to the Florida Complex League to work on his control and secondary pitches.
