With the 2023 MLB Draft in the books, the next step is getting the new draftees signed so it’s time to roll out the annual Signing Table. With the advent of hard slotting and now a much shorter...
. It also shows how many lists on which the draftee was included, since the average will be biased upwards by non-inclusion on a list vs. being ranked too low for inclusion.Naturally, the biggest factor is Nimmala since the first round pick accounts for over 60% of the pool. I certainly can’t see any type of discount, but nor should it come in over slot despite some considering him a top-10 talent given the dynamics of a deep draft where he slipped down.
The other two high school picks will require overslot bonuses; the only question is really how much. My sneaking suspicion is Maroudis ends up closer to the high end $1,000,000 “conservative” scenario. I have to think Bohrofen ends up significantly over slot as well. If he came in at or even around slot it really seems like a coup.
On the savings side, Mollerus in the 10th round should be a senior sign clearing significant money. 8th rounder Barry should save some, and my gut says 5th rounder O’Halloran will come in somewhat under as well. There could be some modest savings with Goodwin, but he went about where he was expected so slot seems like an appropriate baseline.
With the 5% overage, that leaves a little wiggle room in my baseline, and probably another $25,000 if you assume they’ll shave all the bonuses by the $2,500 that can be made up via a pro forma roster bonus permitted in the uniform minor league player contract. That might leave enough to put together a $200,000-$250,000 bonus for one of the post 10th round draftees.
