USC's Mason Edwards Heads to A's | Oakland Athletics News

USC’s Mason Edwards just made baseball history—drafted second round by the A’s, the first Trojan to land that high since 2009. He dominated college ball with an undefeated 8-0 record, a jaw-dropping 2.07 ERA, and 169 strikeouts—the most by a Trojan pitcher since Mark Prior in 2001. He earned first-team All-American honors, the first Trojan to do so in over a decade. His deal? A solid $2.4M—more than the usual $2.1M for that slot. He’s the first USC player drafted to sign; Augie Lopez, Grant Govel, and Adam Troy still have until Monday to decide: go pro or return to college. The spotlight’s on them now.
