Or perhaps that player has yet to be drafted. I'm guessing that both 2nd rounders are overslot. Prep players are expensive.

July 15, 20241 yr Joel Dragoo. Joel Dragoo. Great name. Either goes by like Ivan Drago rocky IV stuff or mr. magoo
July 15, 20241 yr Well this is probably half a million in savings in the last few picks. Hopefully that means they have a bead on someone in 10 or 11.

Day 2 so far is very confusing (so far). It either means Hagen Smith was much closer to slot than we thought, or they have someone set up after the 10th round.

July 15, 20241 yr I think Smith was very close to slot. Burns went 2 to Cincy. Bet he took a big discount. Slot value 2 vs 5 difference was 2 million. That's how after 5 rounds and 6 picks, Cincy had 6 MLB top 80 while Sox had 2

Anything over $125k counts against your allotment. Anything at or under that number does not. So a million dollar signing means you have to find $875k in savings somewhere else. That isn't counting the 5% overage which can also be utilized, and for the Sox looks like $730k.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info.

No. Everything over $150K counts against the pool. So like last year, they paid Mathias Lacombe $450K. $300K counts against pool. If they made that selection in rounds 1-10, it would cost $450K against the pool.
