The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed second round pick Travis McGregor to a $900,000 bonus, which is $48,900 below the slot value. They have now saved $344,100 on signing bonuses from players in the top ten round. Along with the 5% teams are allowed to go over-slot without incurring severe penalties, the Pirates can now spend an extra $684,425 on over-slot deals. The Pirates have yet to sign 41st overall pick Nick Lodolo, third round pick Stephen Alemais, and fourth round pick Braeden Ogle. Those are the last three picks from the top ten rounds who are still unsigned. Ogle and Lodolo could received over-slot deals, while 11th round pick Max Kranick would be the top target for an over-slot deal after the tenth round.
