“#Mets app<\/a>ear unlikely to cut deal with Kumar Rocker<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

As the 5 p.m. Sunday deadline approached for teams to sign their draft picks, an agreement between the Mets and their first-round selection Kumar Rocker appeared very unlikely, multiple industry sources told The Post.<\/p>\n

The draft-day arrangement with the Mets and the Vanderbilt pitcher for a $6-million signing bonus \u2014 well over the $4.74 million slot figure for the 10th overall pick \u2014 hit a snag when Rocker\u2019s physical examination resulted in the Mets expressing concerns over the right-hander\u2019s pitching elbow, as first reported by The Post on July 27. <\/p>\n

Rocker did not miss any time due to injury during his time at college, although his fastball velocity dropped during the 2021 season.<\/p>\n

If the two sides indeed part ways without a deal, the current Basic Agreement (which expires on December 1) would call for the Mets to receive the pick immedia<\/a>tely following that of the 10th-worst team of this season. They need not make a below-slot offer to Rocker because, as ESPN reported on Sunday<\/a>, Rocker didn\u2019t participate in Major League Baseball\u2019s voluntary MRI program in which the top 50 pitching prospects are asked whether they want to proactively subject themselves to testing<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Rocker, meanwhile, has two years of eligibility remaining at Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
