May 20, 20178 yr Colleen Kane 29s White Sox announce they've traded minor-league pitcher Alex Katz to Orioles for 2 international bonus pool slots worth $756,300 total.
May 20, 20178 yr This is essentially a way for them to lower their tax obligation in the Robert deal by 756k... yes?

May 20, 20178 yr Fathoms joking dudes Really great day. Not sure how to handle Sox doing everything I want down to this stuff.

May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) Does the bonus space acquired count towards this signing period, or the next signing period? This. It's 100% to save some tax money from the Robert signing.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:13 PM) This. It's 100% to save some tax money from the Robert signing. Meh, $750k it's 750k Wish it were for next period
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Meh, $750k it's 750k Wish it were for next period They'll be able to get plenty of players with a 300k per player cap.
May 20, 20178 yr Well, there's an open spot on the Kanny roster now. Wonder if Robert starts there. With the pitching depth the Sox have, trading Katz for bonus slots is a smart move.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Meh, $750k it's 750k Wish it were for next period Next period is now officially worthless to the White Sox.
May 20, 20178 yr Imagine if they did this, then failed to sign Robert. Suddenly Katz would become the next premier arm

May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:22 PM) Next period is now officially worthless to the White Sox. We will still probably sign some long shot international prospects, but Robert is worth going into the penalty box for
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:32 PM) We will still probably sign some long shot international prospects, but Robert is worth going into the penalty box for At $300k tops per slot, we could sign almost 16 kids at that full price, and I don't see that happening. If anything the Sox will be dealing away 2018 INTL cap space.

If anything the Sox will be dealing away 2018 INTL cap space. How much did Sox sign their lower tier prospects for in years past? I'm wondering if there are teams that will sign the more interesting next tier names for slightly over $300k to beat out the penalizing teams.

Pretty sure it ranges all over, be definitely a good chunk under $300k.
