Guardians got Bazzana for $1.6 million under slot.
Must be nice to win the lottery.

Seaver King signed for 5.2 in a 6 million slot @ 10. I guess they liked that deal more than Montgomery

This class will be interesting to track power wise with everyone being a dinger king in the NCAA this year

Cam Smith got full slot @ 14. We were initially reported to be picking him. If he wasn't going to be a big underslot deal, then that pushes me towards thinking Montgomery will be overslot.

I have to think of Montgomery and Cam were the 2 they probably got a little under slot. If they cut a deal with Cam for 5 million the deciding factor may be that Montgomery took under slot 5 million or got him to take slot. They said it switched late. So I would assume they got him at slot or 5 million.

Not sure I follow the logic? They had a deal at 12 with cam smith. Probably a bit under slot or slot. Montgomery fell to 12 the pick switched. Which would imply they got him either slot or under slot. That’s what my rational thinking. If the prospects were apples to apples in a monetary sense they picked the best prospect.

1) Why do we think they had an underslot deal with Smith? Him getting slot at 14 doesn't mean that's what he was getting at 12. This isn't a market where these guys have price tags. Now if he got way under or over slot, then maybe it'd say something but him getting slot might just mean he was OK with slot wherever he was picked.
2) Why would whatever deal they may or may not have had with Smith tell us anything about what Montgomery is going to get? If they thought Montgomery was WAY better, they easily might be OK with going over for him.
I'm just saying I don't see how this is a data point for the Red Sox.

New poster but have been reading the site for some time.
Do you guys know if Yan Cruz, this year's 17th rounder, could be a "draft-and-follow" guy, the way Austin Ehrlicher was in 2022?

Seems unlikely because kids out of Puerto Rico usually sign, but yeah, if he's heading to a juco he might be a DFE.

Thanks Chris! I just wasn't sure this was the case.

Am I crazy to think that they announce a whole bunch of signings around the 25th and then invite five or six of the top new signs to Friday night’s game of the upcoming Yankees series?

It was just the following tweet that Pete Abe must have deleted and retweeted:

Also, Smith got #14 slot, not #12 slot. That's a $410K difference. A pre-draft deal doesn't necessarily mean massive savings, just that it's the right player at the right price.

On one hand, this signing period is a little less exciting because I think all of the bigger names in the draft class (meaning the ranked guys + Lil Papi) are going to sign as opposed to a year where there was a big name high schooler we could only dream on, but on the other hand it feels within the realm of possibility that they sign all 20, which is really exciting in its own right.
I noticed a few teams have huge UDFA classes, which feels abnormal, but may be moreso with the shortened draft. I can't imagine the Sox will be hunting those too hard given the DRL limitations, but there were some pretty decent names I saw get picked up in that mix.
