ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers’ farm system just got stronger.
Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford, the fourth overall pick in this month’s MLB Draft, officially signed with the Rangers on Tuesday and earned a $8 million signing bonus, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations confirmed to The Dallas Morning News. Jim Callis of MLB.com first reported the details of the signing bonus.
“He’s a championship player,” Rangers general manager Chris Young said Tuesday. “I think that’s what it boils down to. We’re trying to fill our organization with championship players, and certainly we think Wyatt is that.”
