More good news for the Red Sox on deadline day, as it seems the Red Sox are closing in on a deal with fourth round pick Garin Cecchini.
Cecchini is a big-tools infielder whose draft stock fell after an ACL tear. His bonus demands are high, setting a mark of $1.75 million to lure him away from—you guessed it—LSU.
He is also the highest drafted player who the Sox would not receive a compensation pick for next year if they failed to sign him, perhaps making him even more of a priority.
