This year the signing deadline is July 12 at 5 p.m. ET so the Blue Jays have just over two weeks to convince the likes of 3rd round selection Dasan Brown and 9th round pick Philip Clarke to sign on the dotted line and join the professional ranks.
The Jays have signed eight of their top ten picks with Brown and Clarke the only two remaining. The brain trust has signed a number of under slot deals to free up additional funds to use as leverage.
The high schooler is committed to Texas A&M but the Blue Jays are said to be willing to go above the allotted $678,600 for the 88th overall pick.
