Dodgers Rumors: Third-Round Draft Pick Jake Vogel Signed For Over Slot Value

Despite the 2020 MLB Draft being dramatically reduced to just five rounds, the Los Angeles Dodgers came away more than pleased with their six selections made.

While there was a significant difference from a traditional draft that spans 40 rounds due to challenges brought about the coronavirus (COVID-190) pandemic, it has not affected the Dodgers’ ability to sign their draftees. According to various reports, they have already signed first-round pick Bobby Miller, second-round pick Landon Knack, fourth-round pick Carson Taylor and fifth-round pick Gavin Stone.

All of those players were signed for below their slot values, meaning the organization still has plenty of money left over to sign second-rounder Clayton Beeter and third-rounder Jake Vogel, two players with tremendous upside.
