K26dp Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Braves VP of Scouting Dana Brown, who really runs the draft, thinks the Braves will sign 19 out of 20 picks. That means that Ty Evans was probably more of a flyer, he looks like a solid commit to Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal for a shortened draft was only 2 years. Its TBD right now It's expected that the owners will push to shorten the draft permanently in the next CBA. Eliminating the whole advanced rookie/A- level of minor league affiliates mean they don't need as many players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Auburn star infielder Ryan Bliss was drafted with the 42nd pick by the Diamondbacks. I'd kill to see a future trade to the Braves in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 First reported Braves signing: 11th round pick Adam Shoemaker gets over-slot $480,000 signing bonus ($355,000 against pool). It was expected to be overslot, but that was a little more than I was expecting; Vaughn Grissom got $347,500 in the same spot in 2019. Braves must really like this kid.

AUTiger7222 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Has any team ever pulled off this kind of dirty move? Martin is a Senior sign so he has no leverage at all. This is just wrong IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Usually it's more than $1000, but yes every team does that. That's why so many picks in the 4-10 range are college seniors. 9 minutes ago, Unknøwn said: Thats disgusting. MLB has a lot to fix with that system. Why would they change it? Owners love it.

K26dp Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Speaking of senior signings, 3rd-rounder LHP Dylan Dodd and 5th-rounder SS Luke Waddell have signed. Dodd signed for $122,500 against a slot value of $604,800. Waddell signed for $247,500 against a slot value of $333,300. That saves the Braves $396,500, of which $355,000 will go to signing 11th-round Adam Shoemaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed off on the current service time system as well but they're looking for changes to be made there too. Just because you agree to something doesn't mean you like it and doesn't want changes done the next time negotiations are opened. Sometimes you agree to things for the greater good. I.e. no strikes/lockouts. But because of what has happened over the last 18 months or so, I don't think the MLBPA is going to be so open to accepting a bad deal for them. I'm fully prepared for a strike, especially since it's well known that the owners weren't operating in good faith last year in trying to have a season.

They agreed to it because they wanted owners to spend more money on veterans than kids just drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
