Reds sign a whole bucket of draft picks, raise an interesting question

Yesterday, the Reds announced that they have agreed to terms with a whole bucketload of their recent draft picks. They have now signed every one of their picks from the first ten rounds aside from their top pick, Jonathan “The Basebollywood Bengal” India. (I strongly encourage you to check out the work that our old friend Doug Gray is doing over at his site, redsminorleagues.com, and consider contributing to his Patreon.)

The really big deals are second-rounder Lyon Richardson and fourth-rounder Mike Siani. Richardson’s deal is Facebook official and earns him $2 million (about $500k over slot value) while Siani’s deal, also for about $2 million, is not yet final.
