Will be embarrassing if they don't sign him.

Not me. I don't think they ever had any intention of signing him in the first place. This was a weak draft, I think they'd prefer to have #2 overall next year instead. Nick Ahmed is playing great ball, we don't have a need for a SS.

Next years draft has 3 top college pitching prospects in Alec Hansen, Riley Pint and Aj Puk, I think we're targeting one of them

if Swanson goes back to vandy he's a fool.(If his goal in life is to play baseball of course, I have nothing against education blah blah blah)

You were the #1 pick, you risk that by going back to school, and the difference between the #1 draft pick slot is probably more than the difference he is off with the DBacks.

Young kids taking poor advice from their agents.

The sticking point might not be money. Could be that Ahmed has proven to teh Dbacks that he's the SS of the future so they went to Swanson saying that he needs to move to 2b and they have their differences on that.

I thought he played 2B until this season.

Gambo is reporting he signed.
