I'm sure if the Cubs like him, they won't mind spending this type of money, even if it's an overpay. It's a chance to acquire oversloted draft talent like you used to be able to two CBAs ago: [tweet]https://twitter.com/hudsonbelinsky/status/887028446244818946[/tweet] Giants win bidding.

Any Cubs buzz attached to him? Kendall Rogers‏@KendallRogersD1 Hearing that newly declared free agent, A&M signee Jack Conlon, is likely to sign in the next couple of days. Not expected in CS.

5th-rder Nelson Velazquez, $400k per Callis tweet.

Edit - already covered.

Thanks guys. Didn't know with CBA changes. Belinsky tweet could have added subject to cap restrictions or something.

Question - They can only go to $125K without potential penalty though, right?

Oh nooooo Issue comes up with Cubs first-rounder Alex Lange’s physical https://www.fanragsports.com/news/murray-issue-comes-up-with-cubs-first-rounder-alex-langes-physical/

So if Lange took his physical Monday, why hasn't the signing been announced yet? Holding out for more cash than previously agreed upon? Did something pop up in the physical? Or am I just being paranoid?

Nelson Velazquez headed to Arizona? @N.Velazquez26‏ @NVelazquez26 Jul 4 De camino a phonix arizona mi gente

Jim Callis‏@jimcallisMLB (3 tweets) Source: @RaysBaseball will not sign supp 1st-rder Drew Rasmussen. Oregon St RHP, up to 98 this spring after TJ in March 2016. @MLBDraft More re Rasmussen: @RaysBaseball will not make minimum offer to get compensation pick in 2018 @MLBDraft. Rasmussen will become a free agent. Rasmussen also could return to Oregon State as a redshirt junior in 2018 if he doesn't sign as a free agent. @MLBDraft @RaysBaseball -------So is this a failed physical? Any other reason and they'd make a minimum offer, right?

Hadn't seen these before now. 285. CHC - Chris Carrier, OF, Memphis $5,000 (Pick value: $137,500) 315. CHC - Brian Glowicki, RHP, Minnesota $5,000 (Pick value: $131,300) Starting assignment: TBD http://m.mlb.com/news/article/237042574/2017-draft-signing-and-bonus-tracker/?topicid=151437456

Anyone know why Hannemann hasn't played the last few games?

Does anyone know what happened to Tommy LaStella's rehab? He played the 29th but not the next two days. Reinjured? Held out because of trade talk? edit - Jesse Rogers ‏@ESPNChiCubs Tommy La Stella little sore in his rehab, should play again tomorrow

Anyone else think Starlin Castro's about to be traded to the Padres?

According to Jim Allen of the Kyodo News, the Hiroshima Carp have informed right-handed starter Kenta Maeda that he will not be posted this offseason.
