May 17, 2025May 17 The number of confirmed signings in the 2025 class stands at 24 players. This will probably rise. One of the signings that was widely reported on January 15th - Roderick Medina 275k - was never confirmed. He pitched for St. Peter's HS (NY) this spring. Let's hope for better results than last year - 19 players signed, only 9 remain in the organization (9 released, 1 traded). Two of the remaining players were signed after the season had ended and haven't played a game.

May 18, 2025May 18 I only use publicly available transactions and roster pages. Future Sox and other Sox sites are good for listing potential signings before the signing period starts on January 15th . I've got a basic spreadsheet and update it regularly. 2024 and 2025 classes: Edited May 18, 2025May 18 by Credepopsup
