Kohl Stewart in town to wrap up deal

Twins first-round pick Kohl Stewart is in town today to undergo a physical, one of the final steps before the club will announce his signing.
Stewart, the fourth overall pick in the June 6 draft, arrived in the Twin Cities on Monday, based on his twitter post:
Adrian Peterson just boarded and sat in front of me ��

Since then, Stewart has tweeted a picture of Target Field and has received dining tips from fans.

I'm hearing that the Twins will sign Stewart for either right at or close to $4,544,400 - the assigned pick value the league has recommended for the fourth overall selection. From there, Stewart will begin his pro career with the Twins' rookie team in the Gulf Coast League.
The Twins have signed many of their picks from the draft and will officially announce all of them either later today or, most likely, tomorrow.
