As an example, we just signed Fluharty $125k underslot. That now "extra" money can be used to give Barriera (or anyone) an overslot signing.

Barriera will probably get close to 4 million which is almost a million overslot. If he failed to sign we wouldn't get the 3.08 million from his slot but the 0.92 million extra that we saved from other guys signing underslot that we were planning to give him could be alloted to a HS guy later. Essentially guys drafted as backup if something happened where you didn't end up signing your planned overslot guys.

 

Think of the Mets last year. They planned on giving Rocker 2 million overslot at 10th overall. Because of medical issues they didn't sign him. They didn't draft any highly rated HS guys late in the draft as backup so they had nobody to give that extra 2 million to which means they basically wasted it. You want to avoid that by picking a potential overslot HS guy late.

Just a few more punts and hopefully we'll have about 1.5 million in overslot. Will that be enough to sign Barriera and Toman?

 

Yes, this management has shown when they draft it's with a plan. They know how much it costs and all the top 12 guys will sign barring some weird unknown medical issue. The only question for the fanbase is whether they set themselves up with any extra money to sign some of the HS guys in round 11-20(besides the catcher who is confirmed to be signing)

We also have $400k+ if we decide to spend up to 5% over and pay the penalty. Spoiler alert... We always do.

Very interested to see what Toman signs for.

 

I'm guessing somewhere between $1.5m - $2m

I could be wrong but McCarty getting 120K means the Jays used 100K out of their slot on an UFA. The limit for those guys I think is only 20K.

 

Also, why was a guy worth 120K playing in D3?

I think that was only a pandemic thing. I think now you can go 125 on a UDFA.

Yea, it’s back to 125k.

Nice, thanks.

 

McCarty was 333 overall on one random Twitter ranking guy I follow’s list. I guess he’s a real dude.

 

I’m surprised he had enough leverage to get 120k there. I’m also always surprised that mlb teams would nickel and dime guys out of that extra 5k too though.

 

Or at least, I’m surprised that if he is good, that a few teams wouldn’t have all offered him 125 and he picked. 120 seems like a weird number.

Wait... Divsion 3...

 

Is McCarty the guy I posted a tweet about in one of the draft threads a few months ago?

 

Holy s***, yes it is! I forgot his name. Never would have imagined that he would end up on the Blue Jays.

 

I'm a lot more stoked about this pick up now, lol.

Would be a really cool story if he made it. Those are some insane numbers regardless of where he played.

Posted
As a point of reference for the Toman signing, they paid him 39th pick overall value.

 

Reasonable considering he was linked to is at 23.

He was rumored to want 2.5 so we might have got a discount which is pretty sweet.
