Before addressing the Atlanta Braves latest signing, here’s a quick update on bonus numbers for players already on board.
The MLB Draft Tracker sprung to life and Friday and showed a broad and curious range of checks written.
Only one player exceeded his slot money: Justin Yeager got a check for $137,500, taking a $12,500 bite out of the remaining early round MLB draft allowance.
Andy Samuelson LHRP from round 12, Conner Blair OF from round 15, Alec Barger RHP from round 17, Peyton Williams RHP taken in round 21, and Alex Segal a LHP and round 22 selection, all signed at their slot maximum of $125,000.
