Presumably our 10th round senior Jordan Cannon signed for a similar amount, but the figure has not yet been reported.

So we were able to sign him for 5000 / 147900 =  3% of his slot allotment?

Is Elias some kind of wizard?   Or does the kid have wealthy parents or something?     3% of slot seems crazy.......although I'm glad it certainly benefits us towards signing the higher picks.

So the underslots left are?

Senior sign, so he’s got no better alternative if he wants to play baseball.   I’m sure the O’s knew he’d be cheap when they drafted him.

But, at least from what I have noticed, 10K appears to be the norm for these types of deals.  Just seems odd to me that they would go even lower.  I figured for the most part they send a guy out with the contract for 10K already filled out.

17 of 40 have not signed including 8 of the first 13. I figure a lot of the 30-40 guys were longshots

Here are our 9th and 10th rounders from last year:

10. Dallas Litscher ($140,600)                $7,500                 $133,100                  295

And from 2017:

8. Jimmy Murphy - RHP- Fordham	$152,700	$5,000	$147,700	248

Yeah $10K is the standard and the extra $5K means a lot more to one side than the other. Unless something came up on the physical, I'm not a fan of squeezing an extra $5K out of a player who will in all likelihood never make even $2,000 a month playing baseball.

I'm not obsessive enough to track guys like this.  I wonder how many of them just play ball for the summer and go on with the rest of their lives after one season of pro ball?

I'd wager that, or something very similar like never even reporting, is relatively common.

Austin Wynns was a 10th rd pick that signed for 10k.  Tyler Wilson was a 10th rd pick that signed for 20k.

Sure, but those are the exceptions.
