MLB.com: Bucs’ No. 2 pick Lodolo doesn’t sign

PITTSBURGH — The Pirates were unable to sign left-hander Nick Lodolo, the team’s second pick in last month’s Draft, before Friday’s 5 p.m. ET deadline.

The 41st overall selection posted on Twitter this week that he intends to honor his commitment to Texas Christian University. Lodolo’s account is protected, but a screenshot of a July 12 post included the following message: “I’m proud to officially be a Horned Frog!! Let’s get back to Omaha!”

The Pirates picked Lodolo, a projectable prep pitcher, out of Damien (Calif.) High School in the Competitive Balance Round A. The slot value of his selection was $1,576,000.
