As of last night, Baltimore appears to be inching closer to a deal with Gausman, but the clock is ticking. All players must be signed no later than 5pm Eastern today. At current estimates, Gausman stands to earn about $4.2 Million for signing. While the cynic in me knows Gausman's recent comments may have been nothing more than a negotiating tactic, the fan in me clings to the last bit of hope, like it does every year, that our highly drafted underclassmen will take the road less traveled and return for another campaign. There is no reason to be anything but proud if Gausman becomes the highest signed player in LSU history since Ben McDonald, but what good fortune we could have if he decided to come back. I'll update here throughout the day as the story develops
