Auburn's Rembert Signs with Pirates | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Auburn’s Chris Rembert just signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates for a $2.4 million deal — the highest ever for a 51st-round pick — marking his official transition from college to pro ball. The second baseman, who led Auburn’s 2026 class and hit .344 with 14 homers and 92 RBIs, is now the first of seven Tigers drafted in 2026 to ink his contract. His payday? Over $460K more than typical for that slot. The rest of Auburn’s drafted players — including pitchers Petrovic, Hetzler, Johnston, and infielder Guevara — are still waiting for contract news.
