## Resource

Three top MLB draft picks—Trevor Condon, Jacob Lombard, and Justin Lebron—have already inked five-million-dollar deals with their drafting teams, signaling a blockbuster start to the 2026 draft. Condon (13th, Cardinals), Lombard (14th, Marlins), and Lebron (18th, Reds) all secured lucrative bonuses, while the White Sox set a record with UCLA’s Roch Cholowsky at $10.35M. All three were pre-draft top-15 prospects, with Lombard’s brother George Jr. adding family intrigue. Lebron’s college power and speed make him a standout, and with these early signings, fans are primed for intense comparisons as these young stars begin their pro journeys.
