2019 Draft Signing Period

Post by The Town Sports Cards on Jun 6, 2019 9:46:45 GMT -5
For those that want to follow these guys on Twitter to see if they post/change bios to say they've signed, I posted 3 tweets last night with all the twitter accounts I could find:

I wonder how many signings are going to be held up by Noah Song? Feels like the Round 11-16 picks are all on hold until 1) savings from Rounds 1-10 (Song especially) are determined, and 2) Keane decides on his offer which is likely to command a good chunk or majority of those savings. If he doesn't accept, there could be more to entice the 12-16 guys. I don't think anyone past Round 16 will get anything beyond 125K (or very close to) unless something unexpected happens. Those HS picks in the latest rounds are going to college no matter what and the Sox knew that already, thus their draft positions.

On Feleipe Franks, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect him to sign a deal similar to the one Shaq Thompson or Jeff Driskel signed, where their baseball rights would be controlled by the Red Sox but they'd still be focused on their football careers first?

I wonder how many signings are going to be held up by Noah Song? It’s an unusual negotiation, especially with 40 man consideration after four years...that being said, i imagine Song would want to maximize this window to get some ball in before potentially not pitching for 28 months

1) Sounds like the club, including Reed Gragnani as the area scout, did their homework on Song. I can't imagine there will be any surprises there that would hold anyone up, much like how players being in the CWS don't hold everyone else up. If anything, his circumstances drive DOWN his price rather than RAISE it, right? The negotiation may take time, but there's a cap there that's not terribly high, despite his talent level. Song will want to sign - if he doesn't, what's he going to do? Sign in 2021 when he hasn't pitched in 2 years? The Red Sox hold all the leverage there, the more I read.
2) Keane will be interesting, but again, I'm sure Ray Fagnant did his due diligence and has an idea what number is needed. It would not surprise me if he signs rather quickly like Northcut did.

Created this spreadsheet with my predictions for each of the draft picks. If that link doesn't work, here's a picture of it. Let me know what you all think.

I think I asked because they might be counting on the savings for Song to sign others and it would be a mistake to spend it before they actually have it done.

On instagram Alex Erro essentially said he is signing.

Luke Bandy's Twitter account is now protected but he lists Boston Red Sox Organization under his name. He may be on his way to signing.

Intriguing player, some tools to work with. I thought we'd have to go a bit over $125,000 to get him signed. Love it!

For what these are worth, 24th rounder Dean Miller has updated his Twitter (@deanmiller43) to list the Boston Red Sox Organization. Same for: Jaxx Groshans (@groshans_15), his reads Catcher in the Boston Red Sox Organization. Karson Simas (@karson_simas), reads Red Sox Organization

Kind of strange that there has been so little news re Red Sox signings compared to other teams.

Jonathan Mayo does a great job at reporting on signings on Twitter. They’re starting to come in quickly now.
