Cairo Accepts Indians Offer

He got a call from Cleveland while he was in Mainieri's office and they upped their offer.

They can take some of the slot money from other draftees and add it to the offer for a player while offering other players less than their slot value. Surprising how it went down because Cairo's dad is a former major leaguer and you would think his family doesn't have to have the money.

 

I don't think so. I think if a pick doesn't sign the team loses the ability to spend that money but if a pick signs for less than his slot value the team can add it to their offer for another player.

 

yes India made a deal with Egypt to provide Muslim extremists to fight because they don't have enough problems with Pakistan. LOL. That is a better story

 

I would have started that one

 

I admit right off the bat (bad pun intended) that I know very little about how all of this works, so I'm curious about why a pick would sign for less if he knows his slot value?

 

If he is a senior he wouldn't have another choice. Or a latin player who will take anything for a shot at the bigs. Could be high school players too dumb to go to college.
