I don’t think that will work. If I’m the Advisor I would respond that he might take a little less to go to Chicago at 3rd since they’re 500 and competing for the last wild card spot and he might get an immediate call up there which will start his MLB free agency service. With the Orioles he could spend two years in the Orioles farm system while the MLB club is rebuilt. He would also probably take a little less to stay on the West Coast and play for a more competitive San Diego at 5 as well.

They should pitch to him, Babe Ruth wasn’t even good enough to justify routinely walking. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2002-04-28-0204280281-story,amp.html

For anyone who wants to watch a local team the NCAA has free online coverage of the DIII college World Series. I watched Hopkins come back down 2 in the 10th last night, the announcers were good as was the video. Hopkins plays at 8:40 tonight.

I’m not buying into the under slot savings to justify passing on Rutschman. I highly doubt the net result will be an outcome a competent GM would trade for. Rutschman could be the 10th best prospect in baseball the second he signs. Witt will probably be somewhere between 25 and 75 while I highly doubt the bonus slot savings player they get will be a top 100 prospect. It’s probably going to end up being an exchange along the lines of number 10 prospect for number 50 and number 150-250 IF they get the falling in draft whose hard to sign slot savings player to actually sign. It’s more risk for less reward.
