Konnor Griffin and Braden Montgomery tattooed substantial draft handle current days, both of which were covered today at MLBTR. Pre-draft rankings and hunting reports are supplied by Keith Law of the Athletic, Baseball America, FanGraphs and ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel. A couple of other $2MM+ finalizings from today:

• The Twins signed Kaelen Culpepper at $3.9344MM, reports Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline (X link). The Kansas State infielder gets complete slot worth for the 21st choice. Culpepper normally ranked a bit listed below where he was picked on pre-draft prognostications. Evaluators credit him with a well-rounded offending skillset and the tools to possibly stick at shortstop, though there’s some nervousness about his tendency to go after pitches outside the strike zone. The right-handed player set up a .328/.419/.574 slash with 11 homers and 17 taken bases in his last season with the Wildcats. Trey Yesavage (Blue Jays) and Vance Honeycutt (Orioles) are the staying anonymous first-round choices headed into tomorrow night’s due date.
• The Pirates exceeded slot to ink second-rounder Wyatt Sanford far from a dedication to Texas A&M. Callis reports (on X) that the high school consented to a $2.5MM bonus offer that’s above the approximate $1.98MM worth for the 47th choice. FanGraphs composes that Sanford might be the very best protective gamer in the high school class, while Law calls him a capacity plus gloveman at shortstop. He’ll require to submit a 6’1″ frame to offer much punch offensively, however his glove had him as fringe first-round skill in the eyes of the majority of critics.
