    @Zoshchenko what happens to all the players who weren’t picked after round 5? Are they just free agents?

    yeah undrafted players can sign with whoever for a maximum bonus of $20,000, which is much less than the regular max of 125,000 for undrafted players.

    one might expect organizations with good track records of player dev success will fare better than teams who are only just catching up or are cheap

    so a good college junior has to decide whether to take 20k or return to school. colleges are going to have some odd rosters next year depending how things shake out with signings as well as however covid affects eligibility

    the 20,000 max signing bonus is wild since players drafted in the 6th round last year probably received something between 200-300,000 as their bonus

    Hopefully the players strike, because this is so beyond ridiculous.

    Fun must be always. Prestigious

    It’s kinda wild to think I and most people make more money than minor league players.

    like me? Never a chance to make the mlb

    them? They can at least not hide after seeing a 90 mile pitch

    That’s how the major leagues get all their talent and yet they don’t give a fuck.

    It’s weird because you think investing into minor league would be very good in the end but nope shitty owners stay shitty forever and the gms do nothing

    And to think the Yankee players/organization continued to complain that they got cheated out of the WS because they lost to Houston in the ALCS that year. Or Judge complaining about the MVP voting.

    I still say all teams used video systems/camera to try to steal signs and get an advantage. Obviously just not to the extent Houston did.
