5th rounder Jackson Glenn signed for $12.5k, $410k under slot.



8th rounder Sean Sullivan signed for $175k, $17.9k under slot.



They have about $3.55M left to sign Solometo, White, Chandler, Kellington, and any of the later over slot guys.

isn't more than 3.55M left?  I don't think the slots for Solometo, White Chandler and Kellington are included in the 3.55 (or at least all of them)



for Pirate slots



37) Pirates: $1,999,300

64) Pirates: $1,050,300

72) Pirates: $870,700

102) Pirates: $571,400

12.5k?  Is that right?  $12,500.  Seems a little low, even by BOB standards.



The guy's got it made.  No matter what anybody says, BOB gets his.  :)

Reading his bio, he's a 5th year senior, and 23 years old. No matter who drafted him, it would probably have been a similar situation. He truly has nowhere else to go, unless he wanted to test the waters as an undrafted free agent or try overseas. IDK if he was ever drafted before either, and if he was and decided not to sign, that was his chance to get a bigger bonus.

If it's not a typo, does anyone know why Mike Jarvis signed for so little?

No, not a typo. College senior=no leverage in negotiations. High schoolers have the most leverage, as they have the most options before them. If they choose not to sign, they're betting on themselves that they can get drafted higher after going to college. they have the most cards to play at the negotiations table. College seniors have no more cards to play. Teams can almost name their price to some extent.

I was being a little facetious. I didn't know that bonuses were THAT low for drafted players. I'm not up on those things. You know how much I care about Suspects. I would've thought bonuses in that range would go to non-drafted FAs.
