MLB Draft July 9-11

PreviousPage 9 of 11Next

Dillon Head signs for $2.8MM … about $365,000 under slot … so good sign for landing one of the lower picks that will require over slot money.

Tucker Musgrove (#7) at $175,000 … about $50,000 under slot

Eric Yost (#17) at $150,000 .. max for a pick 11-20.

Others should come down very soon.

Looks as though #12 pick Blake Dickerson (HS, LHP) has signed for $500,000 … $350,000 over slot and that is just short of the the Padres saved with the under slot given to Head.

Homer Bush and Kannon Kemp have signed too. I haven't seen the numbers reported yet though.

Have not seen their numbers either but did see the following reported:

#1 Head ... $370K UNDER

#7 Musgrove ... $52K UNDER

#9 Wilson ... $48K UNDER

#10 McClaughy ... $139K UNDER

#12 Dickerson ... $350 OVER

#14, 15, 16, 17 ... on slot

So, with the others yet unreported ... sitting with about $268K UNDER to deploy plus what overage (with penalty) the Padres are willing to accept.

Would guess any UNDER SLOT money is being targeted to the few HS unsigned players ...

MLB has Kemp signing for $625k, which is $437k over slot.

MLB also has picks 14 signing for $125k, which would kick another $25k to our surplus.

Also signed Bush ON SLOT.

So, two of the Top 10 are yet to be announced ... Gonazlez (3rd Round) and Beshears (6th Round) ... not big slot values but both need to be UNDER SLOT to cover about $150K OVER for Kemp ... maybe a little less if they take the overage penalty.

Does not look like a lot extra after that to sign any of the 11th round and after if they need to go over the assigned $150K.

I'd imagine they have a shot at signing both underslot. I don't know if 150k gets it done for Montgomery, though.

Every (18) draft pick has signed, confirmed by their official signature pics on their respective IG accounts, except for 4rd Beshears. He might have also signed but his IG being `private`, you can't tell if he posted the signature pic.

We also signed 8 non-drafted college free agents.
They are (per D1basebell website):

San Diego Padres

They signed all their draft picks:  Padres Sign All Selections From 2023 MLB Draft Class - FriarWire (mlblogs.com) plus some other free agents including 2 high school kids.
