Kawhi needs to take over

Last year's IFA signing period concludes on June 15th. Thought we could use a fresh thread to kick off the next signing period. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2019-20-mlb-international-bonus-pools/ By Ben Badler on April 11, 2019 Teams have learned how much international bonus pool space they will have for the upcoming 2019-20 signing period, which opens on July 2. $6,481,200 Pool Arizona D-backs Baltimore Orioles Cleveland Indians Colorado Rockies Kansas City Royals Pittsburgh Pirates San Diego Padres St. Louis Cardinals $5,939,800 Pool Cincinnati Reds Miami Marlins Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins Oakland Athletics Tampa Bay Rays $5,398,300 Pool Boston Red Sox Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Detroit Tigers Houston Astros Los Angeles Angels New York Mets New York Yankees San Francisco Giants Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers Toronto Blue Jays $4,821,400 Pool Los Angeles Dodgers Philadelphia Phillies $4,321,400 Pool Washington Nationals $0 Pool Atlanta Braves There are 12 teams that will each have $5,398,300 in their pool. Clubs that get a "Competitive Balance Pick" in Round A of the draft get an extra $541,500 each in their pool, while the clubs that get a "Competitive Balance Pick" in Round B get an extra $1,082,900 in their pool. So the teams Major League Baseball classifies as smaller market or smaller revenue clubs get some extra bonus pool space. The Dodgers and Phillies had their pools reduced by $500,000 each for signing A.J. Pollock and Bryce Harper as free agents who received a qualifying offer. The Nationals signed Patrick Corbin as a qualifying offer free agent and, since they exceeded the luxury tax last season, they lost $1 million from their pool. Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel are both still free agents who received qualifying offers, so the final numbers for each team's bonus pool still change before July 2. MLB reduced the Braves' bonus pool to $0 this year as part of their penalty for international signing violations. Signings of $10,000 or less are exempt from the bonus pools, so even though the Braves have no bonus pool space, they can still sign players for up to $10,000. The bonus pools are hard capped, which began two years ago in the 2017-18 period. This year will be the first that no teams will be limited to signings of $300,000 or less as a penalty for having exceeded their bonus pool under the previous system, when teams were allowed to go over. Once the 2019-20 signing period opens, teams can trade for up to an additional 60 percent of their original bonus pool allocation.

92-94 for that Dutch dude is nice! Zulu sounds like he's got a great arm.

Pretty bad command if you ask me

LeBron signs.

Manoah signs.....officially!

GS is a scary team. Hope the Raps bring their shutdown D tonight and shoot better than they did in Game 5.

I was kinda hoping the earth would open up and swallow up both teams so everyone could lose.

Until that happens maybe we should call him Sherman

Sheryl Cock Ring is the worst

...again?

wut

It will make you stronger in the long run.

Between the Sens and Jays you've had quite a run the past 12 months.

LOL. That's so Blue Jays

Surprised Junior Felix wasn't banned for that tantrum.

Has Romano been stretched out this season? Unless they're abandoning the 5th starter (Jackson) and going with an opener instead.

I think we all knew that, but humouring him was something to do during a s*** game in Baltimore.

I guess we'll eventually find out.

That else are we gonna post about? This f***ing game?? Pfft.

We'll see. A trap has been set. There's a Man Thread...he won't be able to resist if it's Zaunie.

Any guess that isn't you is technically not even close.

i'd be surprised if they spent more than $100K on both.
