Draft Cut off

[Mets]

What is the cut off for drafted players to sign before you have to release them?

Or can you only draft guys that have signed a contract?

I can't remember if we changed the rule a couple of years back.

Just check the rules link... oh wait.

They had to have been signed already.

Cool - that's certainly definitive. I couldn't remember.

Thanks.
