Oh I 100% agree, it’s a very unique strategy whatever they are doing.

So for the 2nd year in a row the Sox has offered the most signing bonus to college guys drafted after the 1st round, guys who aren't universally viewed as first rounders. It isn't just slightly overslot, they're over by a huge amount. In Sheet's case, that could be late 2nd/ early 3rd money to a HS kid.

He literally reported nothing. The funniest part to me is that some website said the signing was official and it was for slot and that tweet was their source. I just had to shake my head because that tweet literally says neither of those things.

July 3, 20187 yr Sox don't need to sign Madragal; at slot, esp if they have a chance at one of those high school kids.
