BALTIMORE — High school left-hander Trey Ball, Boston's top pick in the draft at No. 7 overall, is expected to fly to Boston on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
Ball's deal is not yet finalized, but negotiations have gone smoothly.
The assigned bonus value to the seventh overall pick is $3,246,000. Ball reportedly is expected to sign below that figure. Masslive.
Getting Ball for less than the assigned value could be a coup for the Sox.
