Signing Top Pick May Be Hard For Cubs
Oct 28, 2014 12:02 AM
The Cubs drafted Albert Almora with the sixth overall pick on Monday night.
Under Major League Baseball's new draft rules, the No. 6 pick is slotted to make $3.25 million. However, Almora is looking for more.
"My main priority now is college," Almora said. "I just graduated high school and I have a full scholarship to the University of Miami, and that's all I'm looking forward to right now."
Almora is being advised by super-agent Scott Boras, who is trying to get his client the most money possible, using college as leverage.
