Baseball America reported Posey's signing bonus was $6.2 million, which would be the largest up-front bonus in MLB history. The deal is not a major-league contract.
Posey, who was taken No. 5 overall by the Giants in the June draft, won the Dick Howser Award and the Golden Spikes Award that goes to the nation's top amateur baseball player.
He won the ACC triple crown while leading FSU to its first College World Series appearance since 2000. He hit .463 with 26 home runs and 93 RBIs.
He also earned recognition as the top scholar-athlete in college baseball.
