Morning Report: The 2018 Draft Signing Deadline is Today

The deadline to sign players from the 2018 amateur draft is today at 5 PM EST. The Pittsburgh Pirates have one important question left. Will Gunnar Hoglund sign today?

Hoglund signing would then leave open the possibility of another player signing, depending on his bonus of course. His slot amount is $1,967,900. If he signed for that amount or less, then the Pirates would have money for an offer for someone after the tenth round. I've given what I know on those remaining players below.

The Pirates can give Hoglund just over $135,000 over his slot amount to sign and then they would only be signing him.
