Dear god. Yes they can get offered under the value, but the value is so high now it’s a huge win for anyone drafted in the top 10 because you can’t get Jake mangum-ed and get 10k for being drafted in the top 5 round anymoreNo. You can definitely sign a kid below slot in the first 10 rounds. It’s why you see seniors go in rounds 6-10. That saves money for the early round guys so you can sign over slot. Skenes actually signed under slot last year.
go read the new cab rules implented in 2022.
each pick in rounds 1–10 are assigned a slot value. Teams have to offer you 75 percent of that slot. And those numbers are higher than they’ve ever been.
if you get drafted in the top 10 rounds you are guaranteed money and a lot of it.
the 3rd rounders are 7 figure slot values. Meaning if you get drafted in the 3rd round your are guaranteed to get 750k.
also due to the draft pool and revenue sharing model you don’t see teams doling out 2k offers. Again see my post about the royals
skenes was valued at 9.7 million and got 9.2. So skenes didn’t get low balled because he couldn’t come back.
the new cba was a big win for the younger players entering the majors… again dumbasses like goat don’t understand it… but 2k offers don’t happen anymore
