2025 MLB DRAFT THREAD

[Vogelbomb]

I thought bonus pool $$ only applied for the first 10 rounds? What happens for trying to sign a 19th rounder well over slot?

You get 150 K for the picks after the 10th and if it goes over, it must come from your slot, so say they weren’t able to sign Becker, they can use the extra money they saved to try to sign him for someone in rounds 11-20

Here is what they did last year:

Always be sure to close you gay porn tabs before you do your print screens.

Sage advice. But the definition of a woman is a person that says she's a woman.

My thinking is this they have the 853,720 that they can go over slot to land our 19th round guy who is a big upside 6'6" lefty with a lot of room to fill out and increase in value. You get the 150K bonus for picks 11-20 and you are already over a million. Last year Sloan was drafted in the 2nd but had a #17 1st round grade and he signed for 3M. Both of the highly ranked high school guys are ranked in the 50s that is a full round below the guy that got 3M. he fuzzy math says 2.1M +/- for each of them. So the 1st has a slot value of 1.64M so 460 gets you to 2.1M. With the known data on saving 750K on the 1st pick we know we have about 300K left. I think they could get at least 100K to 250K of a discount on their comp Rd A pick. That gets you o say 1.45M. In 2024 they had a slot value over 800K and the dude they drafted there signed for 50K. To me I think the M's need to ensure they add all their guys to the fold.

Nothing I’ve read suggests there is any chance of that.
