That’s his father but yes. Montgomery is signing today I believe

Masterful work by Ben Cherington and the Pirates. Saving $2 million allowed them to sign Bubba Chandler, Lonnie White and Anthony Solometo. They had a tremendous draft.

Badler told me he's a name to keep an eye on

I’m thinking Luke Shilling but he’s had Tommy John since

Burke will be slot and Gosswein is probably $100K at least. I think Smelley and Edwards could be above as well

Both lefty bats. Both project for power. Lots of people think Colson Montgomery will stat at SS. Wes Kath definitely moves to 3B and possibly even 1B in worst case scenario. They can both hit though.

I wrote about the White Sox draft class after listening to Mike Shirley. There were some clear target areas and some trends are forming. I wrote about it: https://www.futuresox.com/2021/07/16/positive-trends-continue-in-2021-mlb-draft-for-white-sox/

What a short-sighted organization. They will have a top 10 pick. They will have like 4 top 70 picks if he walks. Could push a top 20 player to 31. But they have really bad ownership so it’s not that surprising.

Disagree. They’ll get the 31st pick if he walks. That’s much better than the trade return they’ll get IMO

Yeah Fastball has been 93-94. He's a guy again.

If you'd like to head down to Charlotte on a nightly basis and cover the team for us instead for free, have at it man.

He's our Charlotte Knights correspondent for FutureSox and he works his ass off. Why are you such a fucking tool on here so often?

Yeah it's very disappointing

They should have multiple over slot players for day 3.

They can still go over by $330K. These should all be minimum $125K each.

They got two of the better prep bats in the class. Two top 50 draft prospects. They also grabbed a solid college starter who will definitely stay in the rotation. The prep pitcher is a bit under the radar but they liked him enough to pay a significant bonus. The 4th rounder is a decent prospect too. They’ll add more talent today and then we can really stack the class in order.

Haven’t seen a report yet but they’re all signing

Yeah I saw that. He’s like 23 though right? Good luck with that. He won’t get any more $$ next year being a year older.

I think he goes back to school at this point

He shouldn’t as a senior. He has no leverage.

It's necessary now, man. Lets see what they do tomorrow. For example, if they pay a guy $150K tomorrow, it costs $25K against pool. If they did that today, it counts as $150K. There are reasons for doing this.

The 5th rounder is definitely overslot and Kath probably is as well.

Again, everyone taken in rounds 1-10 is signing or the team wouldn't select them

Muncy will get the full freight. I've heard Petty would be around $2 million.

I think it'll be Muncy if Montgomery is off the board but college pitching is definitely possible with this front office.
