After he was selected back in June in the 14th round of the MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks, Linton told InsideCarolina.com: “It’s always been a dream of mine to play at Carolina. And I’m going to be at Carolina unless life-changing money comes my way." That life-changing money was offered on Monday night. (Inside Carolina)
