Maybe A&M boosters offered him more than we did.

I think we're going to get him signed. The last guy we didn't sign was Jonathan Hughes two years ago in the 2nd round and that was pretty dumb of him. We've seen us sign HS pitchers like Fenter, Hanifee, Hall and Myers.  

We can offer Conlon 513k over slot for about 922k total. He'd have to be a 1st or 2nd rd pick in 2-3 years to get more. That's a huge gamble for him to go to college.

ideally we could get him for 609k and be able to use the remaining 300k on Greg Jones or some other of the remaining unsigned guys.

Jim Callis disagrees.

It also looks doubtful that fourth-rounder Jack Conlon will sign with the Orioles. A fourth-rounder from Clements High (Sugar Land, Texas), he displays a 92-95 mph fastball and a sharp 81-84 mph slider when he's at his best. If he doesn't turn pro, he'll attend Texas A&M.

Hughes was injured. If Conlon is not signed, I imagine he has issues as well. His twitter no longer says  "In the Baltimore Orioles Organization"

The top Texas A & M guy Scherff got 700k after getting picked out of HS in rd. 5.  

700k doesn't seem like it would be too bad if Conlon signed for that.  It would still leave us around 300k to chase an overslot guy.  700k for Conlon and 425K for Greg Jones seems like it would be good for us.

From what I was told, the Orioles are signing LHP Cameron Bishop of UC Irvine instead with the savings left over from the top 10 rounds.  Depending on how much we give him, we could have money left to sign another late round upside player as well, although likely not Logan Allen or Greg Jones.  Maybe Jason Willow?

Thanks for the update.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Way to avoid the question.  If the O's were in rebuild mode and had Gray Rod in the exact position he is now, what kind of prospect package would you want?  Fans here are notorious for not wanting to give up any good prospects for other team's best players but then want the world for their own less than perfect players.  When Gausman was about to be traded here (way less an impressive pitcher than Gray Rod is now), posters here were convinced that the O's would get 3 top 100 prospects for him.  The O's got none

      McDermott has a WHIP of almost 1.5 and has walked 41 batters in 64 and 2/3 innings. I'm not sure how that plays at the Big League level or how anyone could have a lot of confidence that those numbers translate into the kind of shut down backend reliever that we need.

      I would be not surprised at all if McDermott deloads after the all star break and comes up to use as a reliever a la do hall the last few years. He’s basically tanner Scott without having to give up prospects to get.

      I don't want anything for Grayson. We are trying to win and add, not subtract from areas of strength. We can add a a 2/3ish starter for less than Holliday and Kjerstad. We have plenty of players/prospects that we can trade that other teams want. After all, we have the best farm system in the game. Just because the player(s) is/are not the #1 prospect in the sport, it doesn't make him/them spare parts.

      I'm surprised the O's haven't tried McDermott as a reliever yet.  Some posters have said the O's need 3 relievers.  There is no way the O's are trading for 3 relievers.  They might trade for 1, find one in the minors and claim one off the waiver wire.
