Draft Signings: 7/30/21

By Darragh McDonald | July 30, 2021 at 9:33pm CDT

Today’s most notable signings from last week’s amateur draft.  As always, you can get more background on these players via the prospect rankings and scouting reports compiled by Baseball America, Fangraphs, MLB Pipeline, The Athletic’s Keith Law, and ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel.  As well, here is MLB Pipeline’s breakdown of the slot values assigned to each pick in the first 10 rounds, as well as the bonus pool money available to all 30 teams.

  • The Diamondbacks signed first-round selection Jordan Lawlar, according to Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. Lawlar will receive almost $1MM above slot value. As Callis notes, this was the highest number the team could give without exceeding their bonus pool.
  • Marlins have also signed their first-round selection Kahlil Watson, pending a physical. Callis expects Watson to get well above slot, similar to Lawlar.
  • The Nationals have also signed their first-round pick Brady House, according to a team announcement. Terms were not disclosed. But the slot value is $4.55MM.
  • The Red Sox have signed fifth-round pick Nathan Hickey, $1MM on a slot of $410k. As noted by Callis, this is the highest bonus given to any player in rounds 4 through 10 so far this year.

      Yeah seems like he’s out of the picture. Oh well, extra pick next year.

        You think moonlight? I personally haven’t settled on exactly how I feel about it. The expectations for this kid are all over the place. I don’t know much about him other than what I read. I was feeling pretty good about the pick when I read that early on he was actually being considered for the #4 pick. But my understanding is strikeouts were a major problem since then. It seemed the majority of what I was reading on our draft considered him a steal in round 2. So I was feeling good about it. I also read he had two teams after the Redsox that were ready to give him the 3 mil he was asking for. But Boston scooped him up first.

    A list of who didn’t sign would be helpful

    There is a big difference between “Marlins have signed Kahlil Watson” and “Watson and Marlins are nearing an agreement, pending a physical” (via Jim Callis)

      Yes, we have seen physicals end up becoming HUGE sticking points in negotiations anytime anything unexpected pops up…

      Look no further than Kumar Rocker this year, and the Braves pick a couple years ago

    Let’s goooo. I honestly thought the Marlins weren’t going to sign Watson. Felt like they were taunting him based on things I heard. Huge draft for the Marlins this year

    I hope this site does a re-cap of all the unsigned players and what their options are.
