Between the article above and this recent update to his Twitter bio I'm thinking Marquez may be signing/signed.

[And That]

Caleb Marquez has signed.

35th round selection Josh Watson is returning to TCU for his senior year per his own Tweet.

[JDBrewCrew]

Aidan Maldonado looks like he's already on campus at Illinois based on twitter so I doubt he's signing

[And That]

32nd round pick Jonny Cuevas will not be signing:

 

Cuevas is a 2018 Palm Desert High School graduate who received a scholarship to continue his education and baseball career at the University of Southern California. The USC commit decided not to sign with the Brewers. Cuevas also decided not to be a Trojan. Instead, Cuevas wishes to focus more on baseball and is set to attend College of Southern Nevada where he will play with the goal to be drafted higher in next years draft.

[And That]

Still have not received confirmation from the Brewers that 22nd round pick Joey Baran has signed. Hope there isn't a medical issue holding it up.

Draft signings: Gray (2), Rasmussen (6), and Garabitos (25).

[Jenkins5]

Surprised by Garabitos! Thought he’d head to Miami. Good athletic left handed pitcher & CF.

[JDBrewCrew]

Has anyone seen any confirmation on Baran? Thanks.

[And That]

I've removed the Baran signing from our tracking list. I believe the signing is in fact not finalized - could be a physical issue, could be something else.

[JDBrewCrew]

Any rumors floating around on any 21 to 40 round guys signing?

[And That]

24th rounder Wade Beasley signing with the Brewers.

[Mass Haas]

24th rounder Wade Beasley signing with the Brewers.

 

From the article -- He is expected to receive a signing bonus of $257,500.

 

Whoa.

Jared Platero will not sign with Milwaukee. He's headed to Long Beach State.

[And That]

It seems as though 22nd rounder Joey Baran will not be signed. I don't have anything official though.

Beasley signed per Brewers PD

 

Final draft signings: Turang (1), Howell (12), Olson (13), Matulovich (20) & Beasley (24).

 

Total players signed: 30. 22 drafted players signed and 8 after the draft.

[Jenkins5]

Mass must off sold Matulovich pretty good!

 

Beasley I think who could really pop off like Cody Scarpetta did. With later round pick & Arkansas having a really good thing going.... thought he may go to school
