I wonder if there is still some corruption in play?  Maybe not to the level of Dave Wilder but for as few of these DR prospects pan out, it seems like it would be easy to continue the corrupt practices.

Shortstop Juan Berroteran ($150,000) and centerfielder Hendry Alcala ($100,000) have agreed to deals with the organization. The combined $250,000 spent on the duo leaves the White Sox with approximately $740,000 left in their bonus pool for the 2024 period.

Alejandro Cruz is expected to receive the 16th highest bonus total in the upcoming class (Roki isn't included in BAs 2025 board as of yet).

 

I gotta say, Paddy sure signed a lot of R/R 3b types who were sort of marginal prospects. Hard to get excited about the latest.

I suspect the plan for the International pool money was to keep it in Jerry's pocket.

That’s an absolute fucking embarrassment.  @Y2Jimmy0 - Have you heard any rationale for this?
