So yes it is official
Could be the best signing in the entire draft outside of the first round.
Confirmed from Amir himself:

I'm blessed to be able to be apart of the #Reds baseball organization and still be able to play basketball at St. Johns. #God is Great
Garrett got seven figures to sign? Maybe Stephenson doesn't sign then...
Go BLUE!!!
Not a big fan of Garrett playing bball as well...he needs to concentrate on baseball.
The best way to improve your draft is to draft guys who fall for signability issues and pay them what they are worth (which is over slot).
A blown knee waiting to happen. I would've given him 1.2 mil ( a little extra cash) but a guarantee he wouldn't be playing basketball. None of this waffling stuff
Go Reds!
$1M?!? Wowza. Is that the most the Reds have ever paid for a non 1st round guy? Or 2nd round guy?
And better yet, is he worth that much??

There's benefits for the Reds with him being a multi-sport athlete.

#Reds gave St. John's basketballer/22nd-rd LHP Amir Garrett $1 million spread over five years, two-sport deal. #mlbdraft
Chapman got about $32M.
Stephenson signed, $2MM.
Go BLUE!!!
Yeah, but I was talking about in the draft.
LHP with a 96 MPH FB. Low low miles on that arm. It's a gamble, but one that could pay huge dividends...
