We’ll track the latest draft signings of note in this post …
- Giants 11th-rounder Trevor McDonald says he’s preparing to put pen to paper on a pro contract, as Patrick Clay of WLOX.com reports. Precise details aren’t known, but McDonald says he decided to forego his commitment to South Alabama after securing what he calls “a great overpay deal.” (That characterization was obviously intended to refer to his draft position, not to cast doubt upon the team’s decisionmaking.) 11th-round selections are always worthy of some added attention, as they offer the first chance for teams to take a shot at tough-sign players without worry of losing draft pool money. For players taken outside of the first ten rounds, any bonus amount over $125K counts against the pool money. Teams can utilize cost savings from earlier picks to free up some extra cash. McDonald, a Mississippi high-schooler who ranked 151st on Baseball America’s board, becomes the first early San Francisco selection to reportedly agree to terms.
Yea baby lets go
Idk why I had 125K stuck in my head, as the allotted bonus amount, but apparently I was wrong…lol
I was pretty sure its $125k too. Hmmmm
It is $125,000 per mlb.com
Is he ready to play in the bigs yet? We could use him.
Check the wire, they may have already released him
Earlier MLBTR said the exempt amount was $125K.
Oh boy, what are the Giants doing?? Why is Holland still on this team when he adds absolutely nothing, but then again that goes for many others on this pathetic roster. He comes in and walks Muncy without Muncy even having to swing the bat. Then they bring in Derek Rodriguez and he walks in not one, but runs. Zaidi bring the kids up and let them play, it simply can’t be worse than these guys you are throwing out there SMH
