You have to wonder at this point if he signaled a bonus amount that MLB teams are balking at? He's looking at well under $1MM IMO if he signs.
That’s what I’m starting to think this far below his draft rankings.
The definition of big if true. Gino said last week they found a mechanical issue late that they didn’t get fixed (cough Lopez cough).
I’m going to operate on the base assumption that they wouldn’t pick him without a deal but we’ll see.
Lol - we should have not hit send. Never fails.
Pretty much
He almost dropped to the third round.
If they don't sign him, they cannot reallocate that pool money to their other picks, correct (since it's a 1 - 10 round pick)?
Correct. Don’t sign the pick and lose the full slot value. Only two of the picks in the first 10 rounds didn’t sign in 2019.
Was he announced as SS or pitcher? I read he’s up to 97 with the fastball now.
Don’t feel bad he wasn’t coming back lmao. They wouldn’t have picked him if he wasn’t gonna sign. Too much money to lose with that pick.
