Not sure who wrote the article, but Zimmer got $3.0M from KC - $500k less than slot.

Gausman and his rep are reportedly seeking slightly over the 4.2 M pool allotment.

He wants more then 4 million I would let him walk. Everyone picked before him signed for under slot.

#Orioles expected agreement with Kevin Gausman will be worth “around” the slot of $4.2MM, source says. He is the highest unsigned pick.

He'll sign. Wieters= deadline, Machado= deadline. I am just glad it is at 5PM not midnight.

If he doesn't sign, then his agent or "representative" is a total idiot (I don't think he can technically sign with an agent if he wants to remain eligible for college, but typically agents act as "representatives"). There's a microscopic chance that Gausman would get more money next year. I can understand emotions confusing Gausman, but I can't imagine a competent agent would walk away from his/her cut of $4,000,000.

I agree he will sign. I just hope a delay doesn't screw up Poche.

Maybe he's worried that the Orioles would put an end to his donut eating days.

He has already ended it.

I think Poche screwed up Poche, what little I have heard is that his number changed. 5th round pick I wouldn't be surprised if they let him walk.

Either Steve or Britt said his number changed.

Maybe he fell off the wagon.
