Pure speculation on my part, but wondering if something popped up on the physical that’s giving the O’s some pause on offering the amount he’s looking for. Hope Forret alone wasn’t our backup plan.

Looks like our 20th round selection signed! His twitter bio also listing Orioles organization.

Looks like Hodo signed for just under slot at $305k

Only the seventh inning, but impressive thus far! Leading 10-1 with an entire lineup making their Delmarva debut. Even better, not a single Shorebird has struck out to this point.

Admittedly, I’m trying hard to look at things positively. I know not all college stats indicate pro success, but still, at the end of the day, we drafted 4 2nd team all-Americans (Cowser, Burns, Trimble, and Norby) in our first 7 picks. That being said, I can only pray we go in hard on drafting pitching next year in our first ten picks. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2021-06-16/college-baseball-awards-2021-ncbwa-division-i-all-america-teams-announced%3famp

Chance Adams was just DFA'd by the Yanks to make room for Gerrit Cole. I know we were hoping to get him back as a trade piece in a potential deal for Machado at one point. I'll be bummed if we don't snatch him up!

@jonathanmayo 6th-rd @MLBDraft pick Maverick Handley signs w/@Orioles for $250K (pick 168 value = $301.6K). @StanfordBSB backstop is a very good defender who can really throw. Good on-base skills at plate. Save some more bucks!

@jonathanmayo Competitive Balance B @MLBDraft pick Kyle Stowers will sign w/@Orioles for full pick value ($884.2K). @StanfordBSB OF started slow but came on with the bat, corner OF profile.

@jonathanmayo 8th-rd @MLBDraft pick Conor Gillispie signs w/@Orioles for $125K (pick 258 value = $159.2K). @VCUBaseball RHP has above-avg SL w/high spin rate. FB up to 93. Orioles Draft:

Putzig and Ham sign. https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/1009492011169312768

https://twitter.com/jimcallisMLB/status/1007713704119545859 8th Rounder Conroy has signed. Another signing slightly under-slot.

https://twitter.com/jimcallismlb/status/1006734063435173888?s=21 Another nice underslot.

Jim Callis all but confirming Conlon won't sign.
