Kelley pitched the other day in Kanny. Burke is still technically not signed, though rumors are out there of his signing soon, or even being in Chicago to sign.

Indications were he was undecided on signing and I was hoping for an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The White Sox bonus pool is $6,618,600. They're at $6,092,000 and that's before McDougal or Smelley. McDougal is getting $850K. That puts them at $6,942,000. They basically can only do $125K for Smelley. They have $7K to play with before penalties start. Bravo to the White Sox and Jerry Reinsdorf for spending the overage amount. This is how it's done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely awesome to see in a win now, pandemic impacted year that we’re maxing out our spend in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why though? I am not sure if there are many teams that do not spend the 5% overage that’s why I had thought Burke and Gosswein would go for more than what people are projecting. In a way, with this class, I was hoping they didn’t spend the full 5% overage and sign the picks for what they would have gotten on another team. Sox has a tendency to overpay for college signings, their bonus to Gosswein, picks 6-12 which are all college seniors (including some 5th year seniors) only continues that trend. That limited their ability to go after another HS pick like Butler this draft, and would continue to do so going forward.

That limited their ability to go after another HS pick like Butler this draft, and would continue to do so going forward. Simply because of the pandemic. Look at how we sold international slot to pay off buyouts a few years back, kind of felt like Jerry would prioritize using the 5% overage to helping the major league roster. Obviously maxing out in the draft is a no brainer and the ~$300k shouldn’t be a big deal, but again, this is a team that didn’t spend all its international slot.
