2021 Toronto Blue Jays Draft Signing Table | Results, Rumors and Bonus Amounts

[Brownie19]

Loving these late-night Callis bombs.

 

 

Could a 12th round pick sound any more interesting?

[Brownie19]

I'm sure someone's done this, but where do we sit with all these signings? are we under/over the slot amount? I mean it certainly looks like we're signing everyone except Holman at this point doesn't it?

[Laika]

Not the Jays, but a big one. The Pirates saved $2M on #1 pick Henry Davis. This is where half of that went:

 

 

Pirates seem v smart this draft. In hindsight the Henry Davis play was obvious but they still nailed it. Huge savings allocated down draft

Nope, Tiedemann (3rd round) and Connor Cooke (10th round) are still unsigned among our Top 10 picks. Cooke already has "Toronto Blue Jays Organization" in his Twitter bio so I imagine that he's been signed but it probably hasn't been "officially" announced yet. There are obviously still other draftees from a 11th to 20th rounds that haven't been signed/announced yet either.

I thought it was interesting that the Jays were supposedly all over Solometo, and then he ultimately went to the Pirates with Cherington/Sanders. I imagine there's probably some cross-evaluation that happened there given that the scouting departments of those two teams are "related".

I just meant that we're in a good position to be able to sign everyone. Looks like we are unless Ricky wants a ton of cash.

The Jays signed 10th rounder Connor Cooke for $141,900.

 

Slot for Cooke was $144,400 so they only saved $2,500.

 

They also signed 18th rounder Jimmy Burnette for $50,000.

Where are you seeing this? I haven't seen any Tweets from Callis, Mayo, or Collazo.

[TwistedLogic]

With only $33K in excess available, Holman is guaranteed to go off to college.

 

And if Tiedemann comes in at or around slot, they have essentially nothing left to go over on the remaining 11-20 guys.

 

Hoping they're still able to lock in Bucknam and Palmegiani with the $125K allowances at those picks.

I'm assuming Collazo just hasn't tweeted it yet but he has the info.

 

It's in the Baseball America draft database. Same place I learned of Spain and Svanson's bonuses early.

s*** - this might be difficult....want them both!

[metafour]

The official Tweet from Callis just came through:

 

[Ray]

Might be tight to be able to sign all of Micah Bucknam, Ricky Tiedemenn, and Damiano Palmegiani with the remaining slot money.

[metafour]

It'll be tight, but I think they get done, just because this regime has been extremely proficient in draft-budgeting.

 

With regards to Palmegiani: he's committed to Arizona, but their HC just left to take the LSU job.

[metafour]

 

[Brownie19]

s*** - getting Ricky under slot it huge. Let's land Micah Bucknam and Damiano Palmegiani now boys.

[Laika]

That amount for Tiedemann is such a small and specific number under slot. It makes you think they already have it all mapped out.

[Brownie19]

Has there ever been any real discussion on adopting the NBA system where HS players must attend College for at least a year or two before making themselves eligible for the draft and then eliminating the bonus pool idea so teams just draft based on talent and not money?

 

Do we think that would be an improvement? Or do we like the current system?

[Ehjays]

This is the second time they have drafted Damiano Palmegiani so Im pretty sure he will be signed.

[Benito]

This is the second time they have drafted Damiano Palmegiani so Im pretty sure he will be signed.

 

That's right. I forgot someone had mentioned that in the draft day thread. The rule (which I didn't know) is that you can't draft a player twice without first getting their permission. Would be shocking based on that, if he didn't sign.

[Krylian]

This is the second time they have drafted Damiano Palmegiani so Im pretty sure he will be signed.

 

Like Jake Eliopoulos?

[Ehjays]

Like Jake Eliopoulos?

 

Yeah he was drafted 3 different times and didnt sign lol

 

Sad story, and I think in the end he killed himself.

[Deadpool]

Yeah, he had demons. Really sad.

[InvincibleTiger]

So will any of these guys actually get any playing time this year or shut down?

I'm guessing a couple/few of them might get a cup of coffee...although, with the draft being much later than usual, I wouldn't be surprised if they just have them at Extended Spring and leave the games for next year.

[TwistedLogic]

Good news: The Jays locked in their second youngest draft pick remaining.

 

Juan Gonzalez for $100,000.
