Gillaspie signs with Giants

KSN.com
The only Shocker baseball player drafted this year yet to sign is Conor Gillaspie. He’s held out the majority of the summer to get the best deal from the Giants he possibly can.

He now has the deal he’s been looking for. Gillaspie will board a plane Monday morning to travel to Arizona where he will sign a pro contract with the San Francisco Giants.

The 37th pick overall will receive slot money for that pick, which is around $975,000 along with other un-disclosed incentives. That was the deal-maker enticing the Shocker All-American to sign.

Gillaspie will begin his pro career in rookie ball for the first few weeks. The Giants plan to give him work at both second and third base before the season comes to an end.
