Lee, a shortstop from Cal Poly who was the eighth overall pick, accepted a bonus of $5.675 million, according to a source with knowledge of the transaction, or about $233,000 more than MLB's assigned value for the eighth pick.
In addition, 16 of the other 19 Twins' picks also have signed, the team said, including second-rounders Conner Prielipp, a lefthander from the University of Alabama, and shortstop Tanner School of Virginia Tech.
The only unsigned picks are Omari Daniel, a high school shortstop taken in the 14th round, Garrett McMillan, an Alabama righthander taken in the 19th round, and Kirby Dickerson, a high school outfielder taken in the 20th round.
The team has agreed in principle to extending its lease through 2059 if the Legislature signs off on continuing the sales tax that built Target Field.
