He has no leverage. He will sign, and likely for below slot slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86this Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I would love for them to be able to sign all 21 picks—these 21 and 10 UDFAs to groom into assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 19 minutes ago, OsFanInOhio said: There’s only one player left unsigned I think…round 17 lhp from cc. Salinas. I believe the Orioles could draft-and-follow him if he isn't signed by the deadline, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can go bang college chicks, collect NIL money, and not have to travel by bus next year in the South Atlantic league. We can spend up to 10% over our draft cap and just pay the penalty. Maybe Elias didn’t use all of his trade deadline budget that he set aside and reallocates it here? Penalties, 0-5% - no penalty 5% - 10% - 75% tax on overage 10% - 15 %- 100% tax on overage, plus lose a 1st and 2nd rd pick next draft. 15%+ - 100% tax plus lose two 1st rd picks. Edit - I think I want to go back to college. Edited August 1 by sportsfan8703 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning down over three million bucks would be a bit dumb, in my estimation, but I know it's happened before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team picks him 15th next year what is he going to do if they offer him 2M? Go to graduate school? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be crazy not to sign, but he could also have it in mind that he could stay and be picked ~5th next year. He was on many top-10 lists prior to a somewhat disappointing season at UNC.

LockUpTheGunner Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'm thrilled to hear that the Orioles were able to sign this guy. I look for Vance to be alot better player than last year's #1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
