Pirates general manager Neal Huntington.

One day after signing first-round pick Quinn Priester, the Pittsburgh Pirates came to terms with six more draft choices.

The Pirates signed their second-round pick, Indiana outfielder Matt Gorski; Houston infielder Jared Triolo, their Comp B pick; and third-rounder Matt Frazier, an outfielder from Arizona.

2nd-rder Matt Gorski signs with @Pirates for $1 mil (pick 57 value = $1,243,600). Indiana OF, some of best college tools in @MLBDraft, chance to be 20-20 CF with solid arm.

Supplemental 2nd-rder Jared Triolo signs w/@Pirates for $870,700 (full pick 72 value). Houston 3B, high floor, makes a lot of contact, has untapped power potential, flashes plus speed, gets job done defensively with solid arm. @MLBDraft
