Anything over $125k for anyone after the 10th rd counts vs the bonus pool. By my calculations, the @Royals came within $1,285 of the 105% threshold for their pool, after which they would have forfeited a future 1st-rder. @MLBDraft https://t.co/a8cKKZFOUG

17th-rder Luca Tresh signs w/@Royals for $423k ($298k counts vs pool). NC State C, ranked No. 101 on Pipeline @MLBDraft Top 250, right-handed power, plus arm, improving receiver.

No, no one has signed after being drafted and returned to play baseball again. They lose their eligibility once they sign. You might be thinking of kids that also play football that sign to play professional baseball after being drafted. If they don't make it as professional baseball players, some go back to college to play football. That's happens.howlie said:I... just don't get baseball signings and eligibiity. It seems like (?) we've had players who actually signed then returned to play for us, though getting a paycheck? Or is it just that players drafted and unsigned were 'retained' by the team that drafted the player, even though they returned to play.Wolfpacklife said:
Man that is one solid update. Looking forward to seeing this team!
Also confused: who actually left and who stayed overall. Can we get a toddl -type roster chart showing turnover per position, showing class, and incoming signees?
Yep. That's it. But it doesn't make sense for eligibility to me.CLTWolf said:No.... You might be thinking of kids that also play football that sign to play professional baseball after being drafted.

But... the NCAA kept a kid from playing several years back because he used a waterhose connected to the Football building to regularly wash off his jalopy... calling the free car wash an "improper benefit."3rdGenPacker said:
Got paid to play a DIFFERENT sport, that's the key factor. So basically, as long as you're not a pro at one sport, you can still play that one in college.
I don't make the rules, just explaining what they are. Never said any of them make any sense. There was a guy that lost football eligibility because he took endorsement money for skiing several years ago. Bloom? Technically he got paid for a different sport, but because it wasn't specifically for the sport, but rather endorsement money, the NCAA ruled he wasn't eligible. Pretty sure he fought it, but don't remember the outcome.howlie said:But... the NCAA kept a kid from playing several years back because he used a waterhose connected to the Football building to regularly wash off his jalopy... calling the free car wash an "improper benefit."3rdGenPacker said:

If washing your car off is a no-no, how could getting payed $50,000 from a semi-pro organization in another sport be allowed? (I realize this is all moot now, with the NIL era beginning...).
Are Hood and Green definitely coming or are they still up in the air?CLTWolf said:
5 days until the deadline.
Hopefully Tucker Mitchell makes it in.

From the update above
"Two draft picks expected to enroll are infielders Josh Hood and Payton Green."

A kid signs a contract to play minor league professional ball. Can't hit a curve ball. Then, after having played a year of baseball as a [semi-]pro, comes back to be an amateur college football player again at Wisconsin.
How can a pro RETURN to school and regain amateur status?
I can't see any other way that NCAA athletes could be paid to play a sport as a pro, then regain their amateur status... (?)

A potentially significant hiccup with Green/Hood... Peter Gammons reported Red Sox are unlikely to sign second rounder Jud Fabian, which means the Sox will have additional money they did not expect to have (somewhere around $1.2 mill). They do still need to sign their fifth rounder who will be overslot. They won't be able to come close to Green's number, but something to watch with Hood. Not sure what his number is but theoretically Sox could approach 500k or so, maybe more
woa!!! he's still alive and working?EthanBarry said:

Ethan, why would they have additional money? I thought if a team doesn't sign someone from one of the first 10 rounds, that money is just deducted from their pool. Is that not right?EthanBarry said:

I think he means Boston was going to have to pay 3 mil to sign Fabian and now by not signing him that extra 1.2 mil (slot is 1.8 mil, I think) is open for other picks that was potentially budgeted for Fabian.3rdGenPacker said:Ethan, why would they have additional money?

If that's true, it hurts their chances of signing Green/Hood because if they'd signed the 2nd round pick at under slot value, they'd have extra money to spread around. Plus, if you deduct the money from their pool, then the 5% they're allowed to go over their pool shrinks also. (5% of 1.2 million is about $60K - not huge, but something)

I don't want to speak for Ethan but that's my take on his post, I could be totally wrong.

Everything will be fine
Correct. I believe they'll have somewhere around an extra 700k to play with. 5th rounder will get some and so will Niko Kavadas. After that, they'll offer whatever's left to their later draft picks, including Hood, and see who takes whatCLTWolf said:I think he means Boston was going to have to pay 3 mil to sign Fabian and now by not signing him that extra 1.2 mil (slot is 1.8 mil, I think) is open for other picks that was potentially budgeted for Fabian.3rdGenPacker said:Ethan, why would they have additional money?
