We'll find out sooner or later. We found out Bryant wasn't even offered a deal

 

what does that have to do with anything

Its Kris Bryant, he's always relevant

[burlingtonbandit]

No, this is just the Jays MO. They draft highly and fail to sign a high school RHP every year, lol.

 

Well Bickford and Beede had bad physicals so theres that...

Beede didn't - he just wanted more money. You're wrong, so, umm.. there's that.

You're pretty condescending for being wrong considering there was nothing on Beede being injured

There appeared to be a large gap between the two sides during the final week of negotiations, and they never got close to getting something done. Beede was reportedly looking for $3.5 million, while the Blue Jays were willing to offer one million short of that.

"They were still far off," Beede told the Worcester (Mass.) Telegram and Gazette. "They ended up getting to $2.5 million, but that still wasn't what we valued the Vanderbilt education at. It was obviously the hardest decision I've ever had to make, but I'm tremendously excited."

 

So there's that.

Pretty sure there was something but it was probably just the Jays leaking stuff to look better

Most certainly. Like every time a Boston sports team trades someone, and then the world finds out that they were either soft or a clubhouse cancer or put mayonnaise on their french fries.

legitimate trade justification

[Laika]

Singer officially not signing.

 

It really doesn't matter. When you get these protected picks back next year, you might as well go for higher upside / tougher signs. I don't mind the draft strategy.

 

Beede --> Stroman

Bickford --> Pentecost

Singer --> ???

 

They've also managed to sign guys like Norris and Smoral, who were in the same mold as Singer.

 

When the only potential cost is a lost year, just use the compensation pick and draft a college dude.

Didn't his twitter account said he's a Blue Jays pitcher?

If the Jays picked you in the draft that same year, i would definitely take your word for it.

That's not the point though, the point is it shows intent and then something changed.

If you don't have mayonnaise with your Moules-frites, you're doing it wrong.
