July 18, 2025Jul 18 Couldn't tell if him signing under slot was just a set-up for a bad pun or if that was a scenario.

July 22, 2025Jul 22 Anyway…Keith Law sure did like our draft. I don’t always agree with his takes and he certainly has some strong biases, but the dude is a great talent evaluator and really knows position players. As such, it’s good he endorsed our haul.
July 22, 2025Jul 22 I mean Jeremy Haber was a supposed leak to many anonymous White Sox Twitter accounts so this is kind of funny actually.

The 5% overage alone is worth $600k and all the seniors they signed in rounds they could theoretically save another $700k or so. As long as Carlson is at slot, they should probably have enough to cover the couple of other overslot guys.

There weren’t any Hail Mary HS picks in rounds 11 to 20 to worry about and teams wouldn’t burn picks and the slot bonus they come with in the first 10 rounds. More just trying to show the math would work.
July 23, 2025Jul 23 I think someone said Boughton ended up agreeing to a figure that allowed them to push him down to #11, so my guess is he is he’s getting around $300k.
July 23, 2025Jul 23 With @BaseballAmerica’s updates to their draft tracker, here are the latest numbers for the White Sox bonus pool. Only 2 draft picks remain unsigned. Based on the numbers, I’d expect a bonus in the $800,000-$900,000 range for 3rd round pick Kyle Lodise. pic.twitter.com/k6YqyOsIEl — Michael Suareo (@MSuareo) July 23, 2025

Sox have $932K remaining with just Kyle Lodise left to sign. 44 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: DePino getting $150k is pretty interesting. Sox staff really believes in his ability to hit and all his batted ball data.
