Draft signing thread 2025

[Pendleton]

Safe to assume that Trace Baker is signing for roughly slot, and Peeples will be going to college

BA is showing Spencer signed for just 165k 

Seems weird?

He is injured and is a Senior. What's his leverage? Go to Indy ball?

Just don't understand why he lasted until 11 with that bonus

He may have rejected offers earlier and then gotten lost in the shuffle, who knows. At the end of the day he has a shoulder injury which is considered worse than an elbow injury and there likely weren't any teams willing to invest big money into that over just a 10-game sample given that prior to this year he was mainly a reliever with poor command in a non-power conference. Its not like this is a proven 2-3 year starter who just so happened to get hurt as a Senior. He was walking 5.6 per 9 innings last season at Indiana State with a 4.75 ERA.

So he is a Senior, has a hurt shoulder, and is a project/small sample size performer.

Good news then. Trade deadline awaits

Updated the chart with Baker signing and I think all of undrafted signings that have been reported here,

Come on Ty Peeples, $158,530 is a lot of money! 😅

[Grant77]

I'm still surprised by the Jared Spencer thing. I'm not going to try to be smart and say I've scouted him or anything, but the experts had him ranked fairly high and pegged a guy like Dylan Watts and his reliever profile with an 8 ERA as a money saving pick. 

In the end, Watts got a higher bonus than Spencer. If teams had known he was available for that price, I feel like he would have gone immediately in the 5th round. Either way, it's good for us.

Anyone have any details on this Angel Montas kid (14 yes old) that the Jays just verbally agreed to give 5.7M ?

He's a monster. Fat, but a stud kid. 

 

He's playing with older kids, and smashing the ball. 30 teams loves him
