If they don't sign a 1st rounder they gat a pick next year at 1 after the pick this year (so #17). Still, this would be a big miss since we most certainly will not get a pick of this caliber at 17 next year. Unless I am wrong, unsigned picks out of the 1st round, will be as compensation in the compensatory rounds (the ones between rounds). I believe that all picks after the 10th round give no compensation for failing to sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFan95 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The signings of MCCants and Perdue drive down the available amount for Watson by about $34 K. This still assumes that Mack and Morissette sign for slot value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gmac Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Can the Marlins go over 5% and there's no penalty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until they hit above 5%, the only penalty is a surcharge. Over 5 and they lose the top pick in next year's draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1.618 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I feel like Mack being a HS grad with options is going to go over his slot value like I mentioned before. Getting a comp pick back for Watson is not the end of the world but the value of the pick really hurts in this case. Maybe it would have been better not having that extra first round pick just in the sense of signing Watson. This also makes me question, does teams receive extra compensation (pool money) with the extra picks? I know the answer is yes but the pool seems low to begin with.

Entendu Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They need to sign both Mack and Watson. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just now, SilverBullet said: What a douchebag if he doesn't take it. If he turns this down he'd be going to college and wouldn't be eligible for a few years again. Sure he could light college up and more than double that bonus money. Or he could fail to produce or get hurt and never see anything close to that number again. If he was going to take 5 mil (was always just a guess) then it seems like he should take this as well. It is "close enough" really. I'd take the deal personally, but his agent could try and convince him to bet on himself. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've already won, don't get greedy when you could turn this down and a freak accident happens and you never see a baseball field again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan95 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 So the Marlins have up to around $ 4.54 M. The only guys who took over slot deals that were enough to deduct from this total were McCants and Mack. Had neither of them signed, they would have just over $4.7 M to sign Watson. I seriously doubt that that difference would have made the difference. Watson either signs for what we have left or he would never have signed with us in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Watson will sign, now they know exactly how much is available. Patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
