Twins Lock In Top Draft Pick Lackey | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins are poised to lock down their top draft pick, Vahn Lackey, the third overall selection, who’s agreed to a contract pending a physical. A 21-year-old catcher from Georgia Tech, Lackey had an explosive season at the plate and is seen as a potential franchise cornerstone. This marks the Twins’ highest draft pick since Royce Lewis in 2017 and their first high draft catcher since Hall of Famer Joe Mauer. With a slot value near $10 million and a healthy bonus pool, the Twins are betting big on Lackey’s ability to stick behind the plate at the major league level. Fans are watching closely to see if he can live up to the hype. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
