ST. LOUIS (AP) – The St. Louis Cardinals have signed first-round draft pick
Jordan Walker for $2.9 million, which comes just under the slot value for the
21st overall pick. Walker is a power-hitting third baseman picked out of high
school. The Cardinals continued Tuesday to bring their selections from the
first-year player draft under contract. The Cardinals already signed their
second-round pick, East Carolina outfielder Alec Burleson; third-round pick Levi
Prater, a left-hander from Oklahoma; and fifth-round pick L.J. Jones, an
outfielder from Long Beach State.
