Keep the signings coming! ANy word on who might be next?
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the amount or anything on the deal?
ReplyDeletemlb.com confirms he signed, pending passing a physical of course. It also says he will report to the Hudson Valley Renegades on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSo there is no amount or length of contract info yet?
ReplyDeleteEvery contract is a minor-league deal. As a general rule, college players will be eligible for the rule 5 draft after 4 years(so the 2013-2014 off-season) unless he's added to the 40-man roster. Once added to the 40-man roster, his "option" years start. So say they add him to the 40-man roster after the 2012 season. If/when he goes down to the minors in 2013, that would be an option year.
ReplyDeleteThat's my very basic understanding of it. For high school guys it's the same thing, except 5 years in the organization and not 4.
I haven't seen any reports on his signing bonus yet, but it should be coming soon.
