Or perhaps that player has yet to be drafted. Expand I'm guessing that both 2nd rounders are overslot. Prep players are expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
