  1. Confirmation from one of the local guys & MLB Pipeline: I thought Howard might get as much as $4 million so this makes the accounting easier for the rest of the picks. I assume Moreno will definitely go over slot, possibly Little ever so slightly. If the first 4 picks are all at slot, they would have the full 5% overage for Moreno ($336k more).
  2. BA's top 20 signed NDFAs: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/top-20-nondrafted-free-agent-signings/ The Royals had the most with 5 in the top 20 including #1.
  3. Ed Howard drops in at 5 (sandwiched between Brailyn and Adbert), Burl Carraway at 11 (between Kohl Franklin and Cory Abbott), Luke Little at 38, Jordan Nwogu at 40 and Keon Moreno at 43.
  4. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-21-mlb-international-bonus-pools/ The Cubs IFA pool for the period 1/15/21-12/15/21 (formerly 7/2/20-6/15/21) is $5,348,100. The Cardinals and Pirates will get $5,899,600 and the Brewers and Reds have a pool of $6,431,000. There are no trades of pool money in this IFA period. Looks like the 2019 J2 period which was supposed to end yesterday has been extended:
  5. Oops, never mind. Hope this doesn’t hurt anything on the deal with Christian Hernández.
  6. The Royals have signed 6 NDFAs - 5 are top 500 prospects in BA's ranking and the 6th was in their top 20 NDFA seniors. I guess it pays to promise to pay minor leaguers for the rest of the season.
  7. I’m hoping this is a sign that this year’s J2 is still on and not getting pushed back to January 2021.
  8. Also, I updated the original post with Kiley McDaniel's top rankings too.
  9. Most interesting thing I saw from the Wetzel signing: “Instructional league in August or early September”
  10. Ben Leeper, RHP, Oklahoma State (sho looks like Justin Turner in his Orioles days). That’s 6 total signings: https://twitter.com/ben_leeper5/status/1272228364976300032?s=21
  11. 3rd signing from the state of South Carolina (Billy Swoope, the Cubs area scout for the Carolinas, is considered one of, if not their best):
  12. Cubs should be doing well in Puerto Rico seeing as they have one of the two best and most marketable Puerto Ricans in the game.
  13. Second Cubs signing: He’s ranked 438th overall in BA’s top 500 and their 10th best NDFA senior.
