Here are the latest mid-to-late round draft signings…
- The Mariners have signed third rounder Edwin Diaz for $300K reports ESPN's Kiley McDaniel (via Keith Law on Twitter). The right-hander was slotted for a $186K bonus.
- The Giants have signed fifth rounder Ty Blach for a straight slot $225K, reports Jim Callis of Baseball America (on Twitter).
- MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports that the Cubs have signed fifth rounder Anthony Prieto ($200K), 10th rounder Chad Martin ($10K), 13th rounder Bijan Rademacher, 16th rounder Michael Hamann ($100K), and 22nd rounder Eduardo Orozco ($1K). Chicago has signed 21 picks so far.
- The Red Sox have signed sixth rounder Justin Haley and 19th rounder Iseha Conklin according to WEEI.com's Alex Speier (on Twitter). Haley's slot number was approximately $164K.
Doesn’t that put the Red Sox over their budget and they lose their next 2 first round picks? There was a report last week that said Boston had only 13k left to spend before they would go so far over budget MLB would punish them with loss of their next 2 first round picks (they would already get fined for going over budget).
That’s assuming that Johnson and Maddox sign for slot, which they aren’t expected to.
Thanks.
No, they have to go more than 20% over to lose 2 1sts. They’d just lose 1.
How does the Mariners’ 3rd round pick have a lower slot than the Giants’ 5th round pick? I think Diaz’s slot should be higher than $186K.
And now that I click on the Twitter link, Law was saying that he was $186K below slot. So the slot should be $486K.
We have to get Zunino at like 4.3M compaired to a 5ish slot value. But given the whole Z and his dad (a scout) are friends so they should work out something to help the team.
