If at all possible, could you guys put up the actual value of their contract so we can see the difference between slot and actual?

Doesn’t have them neither.
Thye usually put it up when they get it. I think they only know that people signed right now. Will probably find out how much in the next week.
I know Dibrell signed for $380K. Callis announced it on Twitter.
Still would be small Miracles if Van Eyk or Eder signs. Eder has 1st round top 10 pick based on: School, LHP, Stuff already.
I have not heard $$$ mentioned, but the college seniors are usually signed for around $10k. I believe picks 6 – 10 were all college seniors.
Vientos signed at $1.5M, slot value is $1,094,700
Excellent. They got a steal.
That’s the draft pick Hardcore Met fans will be looking at for the next few years. I really hope this is a blue chip, power hitting prospect. Good looking kid too, he’d be Loved by Mets fans if he succeeds.
Yes. I think thats why they took brodey where they did. I don’t think they will sign him unless it’s way under slot. That pick had me scratching my head and I immediately thought of teddy stenkewitz. They never even made teddy an offer they had other plans for that money.
He had leverage. They had to overpay to keep him from going to school.
He’s my favorite pick in this draft.
Except if a bonus guy doesn’t sign, they lose that slot money. The only thing they save is any overslot $ they would have to give. Stank wanted overslot cash, Brodey won’t. It’s not exactly a fair comparison.
12 round pick Bryce Hutchinson and the Mets are in negotiations but no deal has been reached as of this evening
Also 32nd round pick Kaylor Chafin will return to school https://twitter.com/KaylorChafin/status/878057439207317506
And third pick I hear about is that 14th round pick will return to school for senior year https://twitter.com/WexlerRules/status/880109129745956868
Great info. Any of Hutchinson, Van Eyk Or Eder signing would be a great coup for Mets. Also would like for Jack Schneider to sign based on skill set and his name.
Unfortunately it looks like Van Eyk is off to Florida State and Eder is off to Vanderbilt
Bryce Hutchinson has signed his contract with the N.Y. Mets
Awesome! Great sign. It’s a good win for the Mets. Now here’s hoping he develops well.
Van Eyk and Eder will be in probably 1st 2 rounds if they continue their development in 3 yrs.
Jack Schneider has also signed with the Mets. It’s being reported on another Mets blog, with a link to a newspaper article saying, Schneider signed on Wednesday.
