They drafted him. Pretty sure they didn't draft him just to not sign him. Negotiations didn't work out, like aggy, pulled their offer.

They offered the minimum after the medical stuff to get another first round pick

No, they didn't have to offer him anything because...

Major League Baseball has since created a program by which the top 50 pitchers (ranked by an MLB scouting service) are protected from being shut out … if they submit to a pre-draft MRI exam, an action that mandates the drafting team to offer its pick at least 40 percent of the assigned slot figure (which was $4.74 million for Rocker). Rocker, like many invited to the initiative, didn’t participate in this voluntary program.

I bet Pittsburgh was thrilled Johnson was still available.

O’s network showed lots of clips of Johnson.  I actually thought they’d pick him #1 because of his UFB hitting and they could underslot him to push the money saved towards lower picks.

Pirates got a nice player.

Exactly. He had “minor” surgery and the Mets got scared. Not sure in that order 

 

obviously the Rangers think his arm is just fine
