Nationals Sign Storen (#10); Nats Picks 4-12

Posted by Cheryl Nichols

According to Bill Ladson, the deal is done and an official announcement that the Nationals have reached an agreement with Drew Storen is expected to be made sometime this afternoon.

This is fantastic news. The Nats really needed to get a quick signing and the fact that the Nats second first round pick was roomies with Jack McGeary at Stanford and has the same agent as Ryan Zimmerman had to help the signability factor. See Dave's post with a draft day one recap.
