PP4_TonySanchezPITTSBURGH — One year after it took the Pirates more than three months to sign their first-round Draft pick last season, the organization accomplished the same goal in a mere three days.

One day after the First-Year Player Draft ended, and three days after catcher Tony Sanchez became Pittsburgh’s first selection, the Pirates and Sanchez agreed to terms on a signing bonus. Sanchez, a three-year starter at Boston College, became the third first-round selection to sign with a club since the Draft ended on Thursday.
