Rex Rundgren, who was drafted in the 24th round by Boston out of Mid-Pacific Institute last year, didn't sign. Instead, he played for the College of Marin, a California junior college, this spring.
The Red Sox had until last Sunday to sign Rundgren, but didn't despite making what his mother, Michele, called "a good offer."
"Several teams have shown interest in Rex and we decided to take our chances in this year's draft," Michele Rundgren said.
