Time running out for first-round pick Jacob Turner to sign with Tigers

Posted Aug 14, 2009
Jacob Turner has until the end of the day Monday to sign with the Detroit Tigers, or the first-round pick instead will pitch for the University of North Carolina next year. The Tigers selected the right-handed pitcher from Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis with the ninth pick of the first round in the amateur draft June 9. A Baseball America blog item this month said he is seeking "Rick Porcello money." (MLive.com)
