So just to throw out realistic hypotheticals for the Twins if they sign Jenkins for 7 mil (slightly under slot) and Soto for 2.2 mil (slightly under slot) they will have $425,600 left to play with not going to the 5% over. 5% over the bonus pool they were allotted would be $717,280. So if they wanted to go 5% over pool they could realistically have $1,142,880 to play with. Not sure how often in the past the Twins go over the 5%.

Like you said, they will be choosing between the 19th round HS kid and Larson in the 20th round.

According to the Larson article I read, his ultimate goal is to be in MLB. He never mentions experiencing college life as an ultimate goal. I might be paraphrasing but he basically said "the goal is to play in MLB, I just have to decide what is the best path."

Jay is going to try to convince him that his path is through LSU.

This could go either way. I think our OF is going to be fine either way.

MLB pipeline reporter who has been reporting all the signings said Jenkins will most likely sign for over slot or very close to slot value if it’s not over slot
