Although nothing is official on its top 10 selections, the organization is confident it will reach deals with each of them by the end of June.

Barrett is a left-handed-hitting center fielder from Kentucky. Fernandez, who attended Nova Southeastern University, is listed as a left fielder, but he may wind up playing second base.
