Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Logan Schmidt bet on himself, turning down seven figures to play for LSU. He’ll wait three years to be eligible for another MLB draft. His decision means no MLB paycheck until 2029. The lefty’s future is bright, but his wallet will have to wait. He’s trading short-term cash for a potential higher draft grade in the future.
