Because of the timing of the draft, has there any been a player sign and not travel to Omaha? I know it's unlikely but aren't they ineligible the minute they sign their pro contract?

Could be wrong, but I don't think they can sign while their team is still playing.

Why would they sign before the season is over?

This would be a tremendous "F You" to your teammates, coaches, fanbase, school, and everyone else in your life.

Sounds like something Mac would have done

I can't imagine any player doing that but I guess they could forego Omaha if they would sign but most MLB teams are not going to negotiate until after season is over.

If your season ends before the draft you are a free agent

I figured it is a unwritten rule to not get into contract talks while his team is still playing. I guess a player could actually sign and not play in Omaha.

I would question the "chest" of any player that would do that to his team mates, and I imagine the MLB club that drafted would not think very much of him either...
