Extra tears of eligibility meant college players had more leverage so it’s not clear we were under using bonus money. Yea I think he is, but still not sure if he’s getting too much overslot even with the leverage.
July 19, 20214 yr Colson Montgomery's brother indicates that he is signing and throwing out the first pitch on Tuesday.

July 19, 20214 yr Was hoping he’d throw out first pitch yesterday. Hope he gets a warm welcome! @Y2Jimmy0 Great podcast with josh Nelson. The stats on that 15th rounder are hilarious.

They added some arms. Signing for $20K is a pretty shitty deal. I haven't really dug into the signings though.
July 19, 20214 yr Author BA has a lot of signings that haven't been on the web yet. These include Broadway 30k Denlinger 10k Ellard 20k Luna 10k

July 19, 20214 yr The White Sox bonus pool is $6,618,800. With Montgomery at slot, Kath at $1.8 million, McDougal at $850K plus the guys in rounds 6, 7, 8, 9 and the $25K overage for Butler, they have $846,600 left to sign Burke, Gosswein, Sommer and whatever other overages they have. If Burke is at slot ($618,200), that leaves $228,400. I'll assume that Gosswein is $100K and Sommer is $10K. That leaves them like $100K before the overage to use for day three. I'm guessing that Edwards and Smelley could be more than $125K.

There isn't really anyone left who is can demand much of a number, so the Sox probably won't even need to get into their overage this year.

July 20, 20214 yr What happened to Montgomery signing and throwing out first pitch at double header? Did I miss it?

July 20, 20214 yr In case anyone wants to catch the interview with him, apparently 2nd inning is when it'll go down.
