Pirates sign 8 more draft picks

The Pirates have announced the signings of the following draft picks: infielder Mitchell Tolman (seventh round, assigned to Morgantown), righty Logan Sendelbach (10th, Bristol), catcher Christian Kelley (11th, Morgantown), infielder Logan Ratledge (13th, Bristol), righty Scooter Hightower (15th, Bristol), catcher John Bormann (24th, Bristol), outfielder Logan Hill (25th, Morgantown), and first baseman Zach George (35th, Bristol).

In addition, the Pirates formally announced the signings of 12th-rounder Ty Moore, who will head to Morgantown, and 22nd-rounder Nathan Trevillian, who will head to the GCL. Trevillian is reportedly the recipient of a $250,000 bonus. Beyond that, I don't expect any of these signings were enormously significant from a bonus perspective, although several players (Tolman, Sendelbach, Kelley, Moore, Hill) probably required some sort of incentive to forgo further schooling.
