The June 6-8 amateur draft fallout is already beginning. So far we've heard that about five draft picks have signed with a handful of undrafted free agents also coming to terms - although all moves have yet to be confirmed by the organization. The Vancouver Canadians' season begins on Friday (June 17) so we should be seeing a bunch of player signings (likely lower picks) become official in the coming week. 

Let's keep track of the transactions in this thread:

So far the signings allegedly include:

1s Joe Musgrove RHP Grossmont HS, El Cajon, Calif. ($500,000)

18 Jon Berti 2B Bowling Green State (OH)

26 Justin Atkinson SS North Surrey (B.C.) SS ($100,000)

28 Jorge Vega-Rosado SS Miami-Dade CC ($200,000)

38 Nico Taylor OF Northwood (Texas) (Unknown Bonus)

Undrafted free agents:
Chris Peters, U Cincinnati, Infielder
Chris Schaeffer, NC State U, Catcher
Ian Kadish, Marshall U, RHP 
Tucker Jensen, Embory-Riddle, RHP
Brandon Kaye, U British Columbia, RHP

On player has apparently turned down a $1 million contract offer:
20 619 Joel Seddon RHP St. Clair (Mich.) HS
