Mets stunningly fail to sign top pick Kumar Rocker
NY Post
The Mets have decided on a future that won’t include their first-round pick in this year’s draft, pitcher Kumar Rocker.
After expressing concerns about the Vanderbilt right-hander’s elbow, the team announced no agreement had been reached with Rocker, the 10th overall pick in the draft, by Sunday’s 5 p.m. deadline. “Clearly this is not the outcome we had hoped for and wish Kumar nothing but success moving forward,” acting general manager Zack Scott said in a statement. “We’re excited about the players we have signed and look forward to watching them develop and contribute to the organization in the years to come.”More Related News
