The bonus is now under 1-million.
Teams can pay whatever they want, if they really want the player

He does want big money, and he can still get it, but you're correct. For some reason I was thinking he got in the portal. Guess it was flashbacks.

If DJ gets drafted in the first 10 rounds we will know he's gone for sure. If he won't agree to whatever the offer will be then they won't draft him and we can get him back.

If he makes it out of rounds 3-4, he won't go in 5-10. He'll be coming back at that point

We've seen team trash 1st round picks, maybe someone drafts him and just offers $250K.
It's not like a college will beat that offer or would want to, considering the portal is closed.
That said, a player like DJ is actually why a team would draft a few seniors and offer them a Nintendo Switch or a used Iphone as a bonus. Then get a 1st rounder like DJ in the late rounds.

The thing is if his asking price is really high teams have bonus pools to that they typically don't want to go over. I'm not sure that a team would draft a bunch of senior signs to pool money to draft Dakota Jordan.

Right - he just declared for the draft, he didn't portal. Thing about DJ is, as talent as is he is, he is still raw and young. He could really use another year in college to mature at the plate so why throw big money at him this year?
Wouldn't it be interesting if DJ, Hines and Mershon all ended up coming back? Totally changes the trajectory for '25.

MLB is getting smarter and smarter about the draft. Only 10 of the first 32 were HS kids - a complete flip from 5 years ago. Even more interesting is that of the 10 HS kids, only 2 were listed as pitchers.
MLB is investing less in player development in the US. They let the college programs sort it out while they gather up a couple of hundred Caribbean kids for 10 pesos a month at their academies in the DR.

So how bad did we get hurt? Think we lost a couple in late rounds. Did we expect them to be here? Will we get the KY bat?

Lost our top two recruits, kept a couple recruits we were scared we'd lose. Waiting on Mershon. Maybe Hines changes his mind and comes back if he gets taken late but not counting on it.

Feel really good about Mershon. No one knows on Hines. He'll get drafted, but it's whether or not he's just ready to start pro ball.

15th is iffy. Depends on what the number is or if he thinks he can be a Khal Stephen and make that type of jump.

He and DJ did not look competitive down the stretch, the draft stock was probably not helped. They made Jay Woolfork look like a first Round pick.
Even Lemons said, "I can't make trades or call someone from the minors, got to roll out the same dudes"
