I’m trying to consolidate all the Turang threads to one. Here you will find the latest information on the Brice Turang watch:

Signing Deadline is July 6th!

Will update as I receive information.

2018 Milwaukee Brewers Top 10 Draft Picks

Brewers Total Cap Space = $3,481,195
- This includes the extra 5% overage

24th rounder Beasley signs “Beasley will receive a signing bonus of $257,500. $132,500 of that will count against the bonus pool. #Brewers #MLBDraft” That knocks the total they can give Turang down to $3,481,195.“

1/21. Brice Turang (SS) (HS) - $3,013,600 – Word is his asking price is $4,500,000

2/60. Joe Gray Jr (OF) (HS) - $1,113,500 – Signed - Full slot value

2/73. Micah Bello (OF) (HS) - $824,900 – Committed to St. Marys - Signed - $550,000

4/125. Aaron Ashby (LHP) (SO-JUCO) - $438,300 – Signed - $520,000

5/155. Justin Jarvis (RHP) (HS) - $327,100 – committed to UNCW - Signed - $327,100

6/185. Drew Rasmussen (RHP) (RS-SR)- $251,700 – Signed - $135,000

7/215. David Fry (C) (SR) - $197,000 – SR catcher - signed for $10,000 - saves Brewers $187,000

8/245. Luis Gonzalez (RHP) - $161,400 – From Puerto Rico - Signed - $125,000

9/275. Albert Cipion (OF) (HS) - $146,200 Signed - $138,200

10/305. JT Hintzen (RHP) - $138,200 – Signed - $10,000

The amounts listed next to each player’s name is the slot value for that draft position. I will try and keep this thread updated as I receive information. If anyone has any information on the players above, please post and I will update the OP.

quote:

“The Brewers over-slot signings of Korry Howell and Reese Olson combined for $400K against their bonus pool. If the Brewers made no other over-slot signings and were willing to go up to 5% over their bonus pool they would now have up to $3,613,695 they could offer Brice Turang.”

The last thing I heard on Ashby is that he's planning to sign with the Brewers, but wants no less than $500k.

Well that blows. Not sure why any first round junior would go back to school...

He's going to try to squeeze the Brewers for everything he can (as he should) and the way to do that is paint the picture that he is absolutely serious about coming to LSU. In the end though, he signs with Milwaukee unless it's a Bo Jackson type of situation (though two different sports) in that he simply just does not want to play in the Brewers organization. If that is the case, then he will charge a "premium" for him to play in that organization.

This scenario could play out until classes begin in August, correct?

Without knowing much about how these negotiations work, the difference (1.5 mil) in Turang's slot and what he's asking seems significant. Wonder how much he is willing to come down or if there's a certain number that they have to meet for him to stay at the table.

More appropriate: Official watch of Turang to sign with the pro. He just uses LSU to get more leverage for the bonus money.

Great thread.
My fear is that Turang gets his money and Ole Miss gets a beast of an OF

I was with Nolan Cain for a little while today. He took a call from Turangs father. I asked him if it was good news and all he did was smile and say let's let it play out. Apparently he isn't being offered near the value he wants.

Micah Bello reported to have signed, a number hasn't been released yet, he's expected to be one of the guys to sign below slot.

Not sure if already posted but this is from Brewers beat writer.

“We haven't heard a peep on social media from Brewers No. 1 draft pick Brice Turang. Shouldn't be surprising; he has Casey Close as an advisor and a strong commitment to LSU if he doesn't sign by July 6. $3M is a lot of money to pass up, however.”

Didn’t they draft like 18 pitchers?

2/60. Joe Gray Jr (OF) (HS) - $1,113,500 – Committed to Ole Miss - Agent Scott Boras – Word is they will sign for at least slot value, but are asking for more than slot at this time.

2/73. Micah Bello (OF) (HS) - $824,900 – Committed to St. Marys - Signed - $550,000

4/125. Aaron Ashby (LHP) (SO-JUCO) - $438,300 – Signed - $520,000

5/155. Justin Jarvis (RHP) (HS) - $327,100 – committed to UNCW - Signed - $327,100

6/185. Drew Rasmussen (RHP) (RS-SR)- $251,700 – Passed on 1st round money last year, only to have Tommy John Surgery – Will sign because he is a RS SR

7/215. David Fry (C) (SR) - $197,000 – SR catcher - signed for $10,000 - saves Brewers $187,000

8/245. Luis Gonzalez (RHP) - $161,400 – From Puerto Rico - Signed - $125,000

9/275. Albert Cipion (OF) (HS) - $146,200

10/305. JT Hintzen (RHP) - $138,200 – signed undisclosed amount (probably below slot)



Just doing the math here...

Signed Players = 1,532,100 million combined (Does not include Hintzen or Drew because no amount is known)

Let's assume Drew gets $10,000 and Hintzen gets 100,000 thats 110,000

1,642,100 would be the total so far



So if the remained three players sign for slot value, they are going to be over by almost $1,000,000 million (5,915,400)
