Undrafted Free Agent Signings: 6/14/20

By Mark Polishuk | June 14, 2020 at 8:43pm CDT

With the amateur draft limited to five rounds this year, hundreds of youngsters who would normally have been selected in a 40-round draft are now available to be signed by any Major League team for a $20K maximum bonus.  Many of these players will end up continuing (or beginning) their college careers in the hopes of being drafted in 2021 or beyond, but many will also sign in the coming weeks and months.  Baseball America has a full list of all agreements, and we’ll be highlighting some of the most notable deals here:

  • The Royals signed catcher Kale Emshoff, D1 Baseball’s Kendall Rogers reports (Twitter link).  Emshoff appeared on pre-draft prospect listings from MLB.com (146th) and Baseball America (174th), with BA’s scouting report citing his “plus-plus raw power.”  After missing all of the 2019 season due to Tommy John surgery, Emshoff was off to a strong start in Arkansas-Little Rock’s first 17 games prior to the shutdown.

    why is there a limit on what you can spend on a single UFA? Do any of the other sports have a cap like this?

        In a league which doesn’t have a cap it’s not collusion, it’s a competitive balance measure.

          Anytime any group of people agrees on something, it’s collusion.

          Collusion: secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.

          Maybe you will get the answer right next time kiddo.

        Nonsense. It’s called cave to the cheap teams. If it wasn’t, there would be no hard slot caps, like it was 2011 and prior.

      The draft was shortened by 35 rounds from last year with about a month or two’s notice. Since anyone who would’ve been selected in rounds 6-40 is now available to anyone, there has to be a cap to keep higher budget teams from blowing other teams’ offers away and stealing guys who would normally have been available in an equal opportunity setting.

        Yeah, but the cap at 20K is way too low. Maybe half the slot of the last.pick (around 150K) would have been fairer.
