    It'd still be more to sign, but he's still got another year of leverage. So that's not really a conversation that would come into play. The NIL vs Sign convo really only applies if you're a Junior and you're trying to decide whether to come back or go ahead and go pro. Dakota doesn't have to compromise his number because he has two years of leverage. Now, he very well may do it, but he's a Boras client and they usually are firm with their numbers.

    You are probably right, but now he ain't getting even close to the minimum $4 million number he was looking for. But $800k is still a lot of money even if he does have to ride a bus for 60 plus A ball games compared to getting $250k NIL to ride a bus to Tuscaloosa, Auburn, and Jackson while flying to Austin, Columbia and Knoxville.

    Are we 100% keeping Gotro? I don't follow baseball closely but I feel like we need a shakeup at the plate

    Even if he doesn't improve, he still has another year and leverage to decide differently next year.

    Half a million is nothing to sneeze at to give up but... the possibility of getting 3-4 times that much is in play next year if he can.... well I don't know what he needs to fix but let's say hitting the slider. He does that and he stays out of hte bus game and gets paid way more in the long run.

    $800k is maybe $400k in your pocket. Also then you are making about minimum wage for at least one year and probably 2-3 years.

    I would love to see Jordan back next year. Any chance a team took someone else early they knew they could get cheaper in hopes of saving money for Jordan?

    Jordan would already have to DRASTICALLY cut his number to sign, which he definitely could. But there's definitely a glimmer of hope he could come back.

    If we get into the fourth round, you almost think a decision would have been made to just come back. Seems chancy for a team to try to save money and sign him in later rounds for a little less. Really think he has a chance to fix his holes in his swing and improve his Ks( looking at you Goat). Hope he comes back. We are missing that power in our lineup right now.

    Is Hines out of eligibility or could he come back if he wanted to?

    San Fran didn't have 2nd or 3rd round picks - so they have extra to burn.

    He will probably get a quarter of what he was asking for, but if they picked him then they are confident he will sign.
