It came down to the final minutes before midnight’s deadline, but the Indians were able to sign their first-round draft pick Monday — Francisco Lindor, a 17-year-old shortstop out of Montverde Academy (Orlando, Fla.).

According to a number of reports, Lindor, who the Indians chose with the eighth overall pick, received a $2.9 million signing bonus. It is the second-largest in club history behind Jeremy Guthrie’s $3 million bonus in 2002.

Lindor was ranked as the seventh-best player in the draft by Baseball America.

The Indians signed a number of their selections prior to the deadline, agreeing to terms with second-rounder Dillon Howard and 18th-rounder Shawn Armstrong, both right-handed pitchers.

Howard, the 67th overall pick out of Searcy High School (Ark.), reportedly received a $1.85 million signing bonus.

Cleveland was able to sign 29 of its 50 draft picks, including 17 of their top 19 selections.
