No 1 player in America Garrett Edwards Decommits from (LSU Tigers) sign $90.5 million deal with new York Mets…
It appears there’s been some confusion—there’s no credible information confirming that a top-ranked LSU player named Garrett Edwards has decommitted and signed a $90.5 million contract with the New York Mets.
What the facts actually show:
Garrett Edwards was a standout pitcher at LSU who entered the professional ranks via the 2023 MLB Draft, selected in the 11th round (#333 overall) by the Tampa Bay Rays. He signed for $500,000, not $90 million .
Since then, he’s been progressing through the Rays’ minor league affiliates (most recently the Bowling Green Hot Rods) and has not signed with the Mets .
On-$90.5 million deals with the Mets:
The Mets have been linked to other big-money contracts (e.g. for established MLB free agents), but nothing on that scale has been associated with a minor-league prospect named Garrett Edwards.

🧾 What Likely Happened
It seems like a misunderstood social media post or false rumor may have swapped details like team, contract size, or athlete name.
There’s no record in trusted sports outlets, transactional databases, or MLB Pipeline archives supporting a six‑ or seven‑figure million-dollar deal involving Edwards and the Mets.
