    1:15 Danny: Likely way too early to know but is the expectation that the 2021 J2 signing period will be delayed too? Something like January 2022? 1:16 Eric A Longenhagen: Yeah, I think we’re on a whole new calendar for Int’l stuff already. January for this group and every one beyond it until a draft (which I think will be ’23, Kiley thinks ’22)

    The Cubs have the 19th most bonus money with $6,721,600. 1: $3,745,500 2: $1,436,900 3: $678,600 4: $492,700 5: $367,900

    Not sure if it will be policed, but perhaps one way to get around the cap for guys not drafted will be to give them a large minor salary. So you may end up with a permanent pay raise for minor leaguers. BA mentioned that and specifically hypothesized the Blue Jays, Cubs and Giants would be at an advantage because they’ve already announced/implemented raises.

    Congrats to the owners for saving $1 million/team while hurting the sport by limiting the talent entering.

    The hangup appears to be this part:

    Christian Hernandez is 5th on MLB’s list. I haven’t seen him lower than 2 on any other ranking, though this is the first ranking I’ve seen with Yoelqi Céspedes (Yoenis’ younger half brother). Moises Ballesteros was listed amongst the “best of the rest,” outside the top 30.

    Would love to see Xavier McKinney fall to the Bears. Definitely hoping they can trade down with on of their picks and add a 3rd or 4th rounder. I know the Bears need to add speed on offense and he doesn’t provide that but I would love Michael Pittman.

    BA has Teel ranked 91st in their top 400 draft prospects.

    This is for next year’s draft, but interesting. I think the last person to re-classify 2 years was Bryce Harper.

    BA did their Mock 3.0. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/mlb-mock-draft/ Lot of disclaimers: They gave the Cubs arguably the top non-OF prep prospect: Pete Crow-Armstrong and Robert Hassell - the two prep OF with the best hit tool amongst the many talented first round prep OF prospects in this year’s draft - went in the next two picks.

    At the rate this season is being delayed, Estrada might actually play a “full” season.

    Looks like the Cubs are still getting Hernandez? Why wouldn't they? The only question is when the signing period will start. That BA article said Hernandez would get “around $3.5 million,” which would be the 4th highest bonus in the coming IFA class. Hernandez was the only Cub in the top 25 bonuses and the bottom of the list was getting around $1.5 million so we know Ballesteros will get less than that.

    5 rounds? The Cardinals will still get 20 picks somehow.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    I like it.

    Looks like this got averted A 10 round draft still sucks and if NDFAs are only going to get $10k, so much talent is going to end up returning/going to schools (JCs or 4-year schools).
