Adam McCalvy reports Brewers have a deal with second-round RHP Devin Williams. Brewers have also signed infielder Tucker Newhaus, their competitive-balance pick; eighth-round HS CF Brandon Diaz, per Tom Haudricourt; and ninth-rounder Tyler Linehan, Fresno State LHP, for $125K (slightly under slot) per Jim Callis. Newhaus reportedly signed for slot ($771K).

-- MWE

Callis also notes that the Reds have signed their first-round pick, Samford OF Philip Ervin, for slot value of $1.8124 million. Ervin is the first of the first-round picks to sign.

-- MWE

Jim Callis says Royals have signed 1st rounder Hunter Dozier for $2.2 million. That appears to be about $900K below slot.

Alex Speier reports Red Sox have signed 2nd rounder Teddy Stankiewicz for $1.1 million, about $130,000 below slot.

Dodgers sign 2nd rounder P Tom Windle for slot ($986k) and 4th rounder Cody Bellinger (reportedly overslot value of $409k)
Nats sign 2nd rounder (their first pick) P Jake Johansen for slot ($820k)
Braves sign 3rd rounder Carlos Salazar for "significantly" overslot ($505k)

Phils sign Cord Sandberg for $775k

Mets have signed:
10th - Luis Guillorme
20th - Dan Herrmann
23rd - Gaither Bumgardner

The Brewers have also signed third-rounder Barrett Astin, Arkansas RHP, for $584,300 (slot).

-- MWE

A's have signed Dylan Covey, their 4th-round pick and a former first-rounder who didn't sign due to diabetes, for $370,000, just under slot ($382,300).

-- MWE

Rangers have signed a boatload of picks:

Rd. 4 -- Isiah Kiner-Falefa, SS, Mid Pacific (HI) Institute
Rd. 5 -- Joe Jackson, C, The Citadel
Rd. 6 -- Sam Wolff, RHP, Univ. of New Mexico
Rd. 7 -- Nick Gardewine, RHP, Kaskaskia (IL) CC

Rd. 26 -- Travis Dean, RHP, Kennesaw State
Rd. 32 -- John Straka, RHP, North Dakota State
Rd. 34 -- Easton Napiontek, RHP, Lower Columbia (WA) College

Can't find any bonus info but it's unlikely that any of the top-10 guys signed overslot deals.

-- MWE

Tracy Ringolsby tweet: "@jimcallisBA #Rockies sign 7th-rd Konner Wade for $198,500. Ariz RHP & 2012 CWS hero, stuff backed up this yr, solid FB & CH when at best."

I don't know what "stuff backed up" means, but it doesn't sound good.

I don't know what "stuff backed up" means, but it doesn't sound good.

It means almost exactly what it sounds like. Wade's velocity was down this year (from low 90s to upper 80s) and he's thrown a lot of innings in college, so there are some concerns about whether he's physically sound. I would expect that the Rockies will take it easy with him; he might not even pitch until the fall.

-- MWE

Rangers sign top picks, per Callis:

Alex Gonzalez ($2,215,000, slot $1,920,600)
Travis DeMeritte ($1.9 mil, slot $1,731,200)
Akeem Bostick ($520,600, slot $899,400)

That means that of their top 10, only #3 David Ledbetter (slot $520,600) and #10 Cole Wiper (slot $135,300) are unsigned.

Sam Wolff, at #6, signed for $65,000 as a senior sign out of college. Slot for that pick was $216,400. So it's pretty clear how the Rangers managed their budget.

-- MWE

EDIT: Ryan Ledbetter is David's brother, and he (Ryan) signed for the slot. David's easily the better prospect.

guillorme was for 200
rumor is that willie abreu's asking price pre-draft was 450 and that the reds have offered him that.
kiner-falefa supposedly got 350. (last 2 from the newberg report forum)
think the braves are giving reynolds 140.

Brewers also have a deal with #5 pick Josh Uhen, local kid from UW-Milwaukee, according to McCalvy's tweets.

-- MWE

Mil: diaz reportedly got 200k and asuaje 100k from mil (per kiley m)

dustin driver tweeted that he's signing with oakland. i'm very curious as to the $ - oakland was very aggressive in pursuing talent they may not have the budget for.

Braves sign Stephen Janas (6th round P from Kennesaw State) for $210,200 (slot value).

Mariners sign 11th round NC HS P Zack Littell for $100K (also slot value).

Pirates sign 17th round P Justin Topa and 21st round 2B Adam Landecker. Supposedly a dozen signings will be announced tomorrow.

Bunch of A's announced as signed (25, I think?).

A's reported signings: RHPs Dylan Covey, Louis Trivino, Dakota Freese, Junior Mendez, Samuel Bragg, Trevor Bayless, Kevin Johnson, Jonathan Massad, Blake McMullen, A.J. Burke, Dominique Vattuone and Joseph Michaud; OFs Tyler Marincov, Justin Higley, Jaycob Brugman, Scott Masik and Benjamin McQuown; LHPs Chris Kohler, Matt Stalcup, and Jerad Grundy; Cs Josh Miller and Kyle Wheeler; 1B Ryan Huck; 2B Joseph Bennie; and 3B Austin Kubala. Note McKinney isn't in that list. The A's have a deal with Chad Pinder for $750K, slightly below slot ($782,900).

Royals: RHPs Luke Farrell, Chase Darhower, Kevin McCarthy, Kevin Perez, Glenn Sparkman, Andrew Brockett and Alex Black; LHPs Cody Reed ($1,198,500, which is slot) and Jonathan Dziedzic; OFs Amalani Fukofuka, Daniel Rockett, Dominique Taylor and Riley King; SSs Hunter Dozier and Kevin Kuntz; 2B Andrew Ayers; 1B Brandon Dulin; and C Frank Schwindel.

Astros have signed OF James Ramsay (7th), RHP Kyle Westwood (13th), LHP Sebastian Kessay (22nd) and C Brett Booth (34th). BA also has them as having signed LHP Albert Minnis (25th). Ramsay's a senior sign.

Cardinals have a deal with first-rounder Marco Gonzales for $1.85 million, which is 10% below slot. Some of that money, I figure, will go to Kaminsky, who was expected to go higher. Like many people, I really like the Cardinals' draft.

Yankees have a slot deal with Eric Jagielo, the first of their three first-rounders (as I said at the time I also like what the Yankees did in the first round).

-- MWE

Reds sign 5th-rounder SS Cory Thompson for $367,900, which is 4th-round money.

Dimaondbacks sign 3rd-rounder Daniel Palka, Georgia Tech RF (for you, Der_K), for $550K. (slot was $602,600)

Mariners sign 3rd-rounder HS C Tyler O'Neill for $650K. (slot was $631,100)

Kohler was the A's 3rd-round supplemental pick, and signed for slot ($486,600).

-- MWE

I like O'Neill more than Palka though the latter does have some serious pop.

Tim Anderson supposedly on the verge of signing w the White Sox

Ben Verlander, Justin's little brother and an outfielder drafted in the 14th round by the Tigers, has signed per his Twitter (@Verly32).

-- MWE

First-round Anderson agreements: Dodgers with Chris ($2,109,900), White Sox with Tim ($2,164,000). Both are slot deals.

Yankees sign 4th-rounder Tyler Wade for slot ($371,300).

-- MWE

Pirates sign 19th rounder Brett McKinney and 9th rounder Chad Kuhl (both college pitchers). And 13th rounder Danny Collins, outfielder from that mysterious college in Alabama that nobody has ever heard of aside from sports. No, not Auburn, the other one.

My Google search for "Pirates sign" also produced the headline Cornish Pirates Sign Bath Prop Max Maidment.

LHP Tom Windle, second-round pick out of Minnesota, has also signed with the Dodgers. Callis reports $968,500, but that might be a typo as slot is $986,500.

-- MWE

EDIT: 'Twas a typo, deal was for slot.

STL gets Kaminsky for 1,785,300 (slot).

Bath Prop

What, like a rubber duck, or a crocheted toilet seat cover?

The A's signed their 9th and 10th round picks (Stalcup and Grundy) for a total of $17,500 and are now $400,000 under budget. Will ~$700K be enough to sign Bobby Wahl?

Will ~$700K be enough to sign Bobby Wahl?

Dunno, that'd be a good question for Callis on Ask BA. I would guess no, but I have no inside info.

if oakland really will sign driver, that's less money left for wahl.

danny, does that ~700k include a 5% overage?

Not a draft note, since neither was drafted, but C Andrew Parker and P Mike Volpe from Towson are going to sign with the Braves as free agents.

Towson's Web site lists the majors of their players. Parker is majoring in economics, Volpe in exercise science.

The Cards have a pretty good track record, but I wouldn't have paid that for him.

Kyle Wren signing isn't a big surprise, seeing that his dad is the GM :) And no, it wasn't an overdraft, he was ranked in the ~200 range by the major prospect hounds.

That doesn't include their overage. If they can't get Wall, maybe they'd be able to sign A.J. Vanegas?

Who knows what the delay is with Driver...

Mariners sign DJ Peterson for slot ($2,759,100).

White Sox sign 3rd-rounder Jacob May (ECU) for $525K, which is $50,400 below slot ($575,400). Nice deal.

Gray got 4.8m - under slot.

Also, if you're the kind of person who's a little too into this stuff... the minor league transaction wire is starting to show guys who haven't been announced as having signed yet as having been assigned to teams.

From Callis:
Royals sign CF Alex Newman for $120,000. (rd 10)
Braves sign CF Kyle Wren for $150,500. (rd 8)
Rangers sign 2B Evan Van Hoosier's for $151,600. (rd 8)
Amalani Fukofuka's bonus was $175,000.
Rangers 4th-rder Isiah Kiner-Falefa actually got $202,000 - not $350,000 as was rumored (a rumor that struck me as odd)

DET gave RHP Farmer (rd 5) $225,000 (about 75K below slot). This is actually a smaller haircut than I expected.

Mets 15th round pick Colton Plaia signs and headed to Brooklyn. No $$ yet

Not a draft note, since neither was drafted, but C Andrew Parker and P Mike Volpe from Towson are going to sign with the Braves as free agents.

Why weren't they drafted? It's strange to me that they weren't good enough to draft after 40 rounds, but good enough for the Braves to sign like a week after the draft.

Plaia would've gotten peanuts - he was a senior.

60/Dock - Not uncommon at all. Teams are aware of seniors to offer contracts to (should they go undrafted) in order to fill roster spots for the short season clubs. Pretty much every team will sign people in this fashion.

NYY gives OF Michael O'Neill $509,000 (rd 3).
TOR signs P Patrick Murphy for $500,000 (rd 3).

Most notable senior discount I've seen so far was for Trevor Frank (CLE, rd 8). The 231st pick, ranked 294th by BA, signed for only $10,000. I count 5 top 500 guys (again by BA rank) who signed for less than that in the top ten rounds .

Pirates sign GK Fatau Dauda from Ashanti Gold.

The AMERICAN Pirates have announced very few of these signings. I think the aforementioned Cody Dickson is their only guy in the first 8 rounds to have signed so far.

what first-rounders have signed so far?

12 of them: Gray, Dozier, Peterson, both Andersons, Gonzales and Gonzalez, McKinney, Jagielo, Ervin, Kaminsky, and Demeritte. (This does not include the supplemental round.)

The link we're using as TFA bolds entries once guys sign and also lists bonuses ... these posts are just slightly ahead of those updates. Personally, I'm impatient and would love it if someone mentioned this stuff in an easy to access way before that list updates... hence my micro updates.
Incidentally, if you want the entire list from that database to load in one page view, you can use this.

LAD/3 3B Brandon Dixon 566,500
MIN/12 RHP Ethan Mildren 100,000 (kind of unheralded, I like him)
COL/2 RHP Alex Balog 795,200
PHI/2 C Andrew Knapp 1,033,100
STL/5 LHP Ian McKinney 303,300
CLE/11 LF Silento Sayles 100,000 (national HS record for steals w/ 103)
SFG/9 LHP D.J. Snelten 140,900
MIL/5 RHP John Uhen 250,000 (UW-M guy)
HOU/8 OF Ethan Martin 159,700
TOR/12 LHP Tim Mayza 100,000
COL/5 RHP Blake Shouse 353,900

Incidentally, the Northwest League starts play tomorrow - the eight clubs with affiliates there have an incentive to hustle on getting org guys inked.

60/Dock - Not uncommon at all. Teams are aware of seniors to offer contracts to (should they go undrafted) in order to fill roster spots for the short season clubs. Pretty much every team will sign people in this fashion.

Thank you, that's interesting. I assumed that the talent pool isn't deep enough to let even minor-league filler go undrafted. Although it would make sense to go after all the upside you can in the draft, and round out the clubs with seniors from good programs afterwards.

Oh - haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but power hitting 3rd round pick C Zane Evans posted a shot of his signing his contract with KC.

In retrospect, a post detailing how the signing process works isn’t a bad idea. I’m writing this in a hurried fashion, so please forgive any typos, errors, omitted concepts, and lousy writing.

***

Every team is allotted, as a recommendation, a pool of money, based on the positions of their draft picks in the first ten rounds, to spend on amateur players. (The territory covered here is essentially the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Players from outside that area are handled through other means.) While teams start with one pick per round, additional picks can be lost/gained through free agent signings as well as via a lottery intended to benefit lower quality/revenue teams (this latter bit is new and kind of weird. For one thing, these competitive balance picks can be traded, unlike other selections.).

Here’s an example of such a pool – Milwaukee. They lost their first round pick (and, hence, associated pool dollars of $2,164,000) for signing Lohse, gained a pick in the supplemental second round (72nd overall) via the competitive balance lottery:

Rd/Pick Dollars
2/54 $1,017,300
2s/72 $771,000
3/90 $584,300
4/122 $417,000
5/152 $312,200
6/182 $233,700
7/212 $175,300
8/242 $154,400
9/272 $144,100
10/302 $135,300
Pool $3,944,600

Team pools vary wildly in size, from Houston’s $11.7M, to Washington’s $2.7M.

Now, while your pool is built from the values of component picks, you can choose to distribute the money however you want – hence KC’s gambit of “overdrafting” Hunter Dozier with its first pick, paying him way less than slot, and using the savings to help sign their second selection, Sean Manaea (who was once talked about as a possible future #1 overall selection, but fell due to health and financial concerns). You can also use this money to sign players not picked in the first ten rounds. For example, the Dodgers spent $300K to sign their 11th round pick, Vanderbilt C Spencer Navin. Slot for non-top ten round domestic amateurs is $100,000 (spending at or below that level does not impact the pool) – any expenditure above that (here, the extra $200K) applies to the pool. This includes non-drafted players as well – last year, the Diamondbacks had some unspent draft monies and used $400K of it on an unpicked player (HS P Felipe Perez, who was considered a prospect going into the draft, but was thought to be heavily committed to going to UCLA – so, this cost $300K in terms of the pool. Situations like this, incidentally, partially explain why a draftable senior might go unselected, in favor of unlikely lottery tickets late in the draft.). Having said this, failure to sign a player disincludes their allotted value from the team’s pool.

This has led to an interesting phenomenon – teams picking seniors (who lack negotiating leverage) toward the end of these ten rounds, in order to save money to sign more expensive guys later on. (The Blue Jays took this to its logical extreme last year, taking guys who I’m not sure are professional material and signing them for $1,000). Accordingly, the people picked in round 11 are, on the whole, better prospects than those picked the round before. (Note: these seniors are not totally without leverage. One, the club presumably would like to sign them for their own sake. Two, as said before, teams need to get them inked – otherwise, they’re losing a good chunk of pool funds. Less importantly, they're not subject to the signing deadline that others are.)

Speaking of negotiating leverage – the baseball draft is unusual (well, at least compared to football and basketball) in that you can enter / be selected in multiple years. (As a result, baseball players tend to have “unpaid advisors”, not agents – they want to preserve their amateur status – which leads to a farce that’s ‘amusing’ even by NCAA standards.) The timing is: if you enter and stay at a four-year school, you’re basically out of the draft until after your junior year / you turn 21 (whichever comes first). Juco guys lack this restriction. The more times remaining that you can be drafted (generally speaking), the more negotiating leverage that you have as a player.

Teams do have the ability to spend more (or less) than the pool suggests (hence my question to Danny about Oakland’s overage) – however, the penalties for overspending are significant.
0-5% overage: 75% tax on the extra spending
5-10%: 75% tax on the extra spending + loss of a first round pick
10-15%: 75% tax on the extra spending up to 10%, 100% tax on the remaining overage + loss of a first round and second round pick
15+%: 75% tax on the extra spending up to 10%, 100% tax on the remaining overage + loss of two first round picks
The value of picks is such that the ideal response is normally (IMO) to make use of the extra five percent if your organization will permit it (and pay the tax), but never cross that next boundary. (As of right now, the Dodgers appear to be at risk to exceed the 5% barrier ... but their unsigned pool-associated picks should come in pretty cheap. I'm sure they'll be fine.)

pit gave arbet 425k (slot was 321.4). i'm not surprised that he got overslot - borden i don't think will.

Pirates also signed 2nd rounder Blake Taylor and 10th round Shane Carle, along with 15th round pick Max Rossiter. BA doesn't have bonuses for any of these signings yet.

Braves gave Alec Grosser (rd 11) 400K - I was quite curious as to what he'd get...

Cardinals gave 3rd rounder Mike Mayers (Ole Miss RHP) $510K. Slot was $557,900.

Nationals sign 3rd-round pick, HS 3B Drew Ward, for overslot deal of $850K (slot was $491,200). Ward was a HS junior this year, and didn't become draft-eligible until he actually graduated on May 17. He's old for a HS pick (he turned 18 this spring) and played for a very small school, so opinions on him were all over the map. He was a SS in high school, no one thinks he'll stay there, and some people think he'll wind up at 1B.

Sicnarf Loopstok signed with Cleveland. No bonus info, just wanted an excuse to type his name.

Sicnarf Loopstok signed with Cleveland.

Would be really surprised if he got much of a bonus. He's very raw.

Might get slot, tools are interesting.
Sicnarf Loopstok.

According to Jim Callis, the Royals have saved enough money to be able to offer Sean Manaea $3.7 million.

Sicnarf is Francis backwards. I wonder if this is a Ramon/Nomar thing.

Appel reportedly to get 6.35m (slot is 7.7904m)

I know Appel doesn't have a whole lot of leverage but I think it's still impressive for the Astros.

Sic-narf Loop-stok clap clap clap-clap-clap

Loopstok is from Aruba. The coach at Western Oklahoma State also was the guy who brought Andrelton Simmons over to the US as well, so you can tell he knows a little something about talent. That said, Loopstok hasn't played very much against quality competition (which is why he went in the 14th round, after all) and we'll have to see how well he develops. Obviously he's a real longshot, and it would be a great story if he makes it.

Brewers sign Devin Williams, their top pick (2nd round), for $1.35 million. Slot value was $1,017,300.

Blake Taylor's bonus was $750K, slot was $1,065,400.

Giants signed their second round pick, Ryder Jones, for $880K. Slot was $872,100. I'm really surprised they went overslot (even if minimally); most people had this pegged as an overdraft.

White Sox sign 7th-rounder Trey Michalszewski for $500K, slot was $173,600.

Accordi g to BA cubs have singed only one guy. Seems like everyother team has a lot more signed

Obviously he's a real longshot, and it would be a great story if he makes it.

Cubs have agreements in place with more than one of their guys, I'm sure. Theo and company are just waiting to announce them. That's been their MO.

I'm a fan of what w okla st is doing and wrote a spiel about them a few months back:
"In keeping with my Indian Hills trivia: Simmons and Oduber attended Western Oklahoma State, a power in the hinterlands that is division 2 at the JC level. Like Indian Hills, their success has come in large part from recruiting outside their footprint - besides their pipeline to Curacao, they've picked up several guys from urban city centers (remember Danny Almonte of LL fame/infamy? he was a star there - also Juan Perez, the Dominican by way of NY outfield prospect in the Giants org, he spent a few years out of school as a plumber before going to WOSC). Monster hitting environment."
Iirc, there was an interesting NYT piece on them at one point

Was surprised Ryder got that much, that trey m. got so little

94: I agree but it is weird that those dudes aren't in Boise yet

Cubs have signed 4th-rounder Tyler Skulina, going well over slot to do so ($800K vs slot of $477,300).

-- MWE

EDIT: Burks, the other guy they signed, was also an overslot sign ($170K vs slot of $148,900). I have to think that the Cubs are going to go for an underslot deal on Hannemann, who was considered a significant overdraft in the 3rd, so that they can sign both Bryant and Trey Masek, who dropped to the fifth (he was looked at as a second or third round talent).

Yanks sign 33rd overall pick Ian Clarkin for slot $1.65 mill.

Explains they delays in signings, have to get the under slot deals done to pay the guys your going over slot for

Yankees also got 5th-rounder David Palladino signed for an overslot deal of $371K (slot was $278,100).
