    I would think both sign. MLB is a little different than other sports in that you get paid very little in comparison to other pro sports for several years especially while you are in the minors. The object is to give yourself the best chance to make the Show (going 1st round out of high school or going to college). But once you actually make it, then you have to go through all the bullshit of arbitration and everything until you finally get a free agent deal. It is kind of like what Dak just went through, he had to pressure Dallas to get a deal that gives him a chance at another free agent deal.

    Rocker, if he doesn't sign means he is injured and won't pitch for Vandy next year. Leiter, Rocker and Lawler are all #1 picks.

    Don't think ANY MLB team wants to lose their #1 pick! Meanwhile, If the two pitchers go back to Vandy, they lose their JR class bargaining position. Lawler is good and has potential. he has to decide, money now or in 2-3 years.

    Out of curiosity, how would that play out? Say Kumar doesn't sign and decides he wants to come back to college(probably won't happen obviously) but has he not already signed an agent or does that not come into play anymore?

    Can't sign with an agent but for whatever reason you can sign for a NIL deal. At least that is what I understand right now. It all seems in the grey area so who knows.

    Not necessarily. I imagine the agent is just in an "advisory" role until pen hits paper. Ginn was advised by Scott Boras out of HS but turned down the offer and came to school.
