Could be leveraging LSU with the judo thing.
We need lefties.
But if we overpay the guy will hurt chemistry of team.

worked pretty well for Mac Marshall, Les

I can’t tell if you’re joking honk, but I’ll drop this for reference

Mac Marshall signed with the San Francisco Giants for a $750,000 signing bonus after being selected in the 4th round (126th overall) of the 2015 MLB Draft out of Chipola Junior College.

Yeah he went from a 21st round pick to the 4th in one season at Chipola.
Schmidt was a consensus top 20 pick. He slipped for whatever reason but you have a lefty with his frame sitting mid 90s with 2 other pitches... yea i could see it. Hope I'm wrong

Is Osbolt at all related to this with us losing him to NC? Feels like that's very specific timing unless that was already in the works.

The format of the draft now doesn’t really make these comparable.
Marshall to juco wasn’t as much about stock improvement as it was eligibility to re-enter after a year.
Schmidt isn’t going to parlay some big pay day after 1 year unless stuff ticks up into the highest echelon of stuff.

I remember reading this about both football and baseball last season…

He was a weird situation though. The astros were going to pay him his number but when one of their other picks failed a physical and didn’t sign, they lost some of their bonus pool money. He ended up taking half of that amount a year later after going to a juco.
Schmidt Is turning down 2 million now and the chances of him getting offered more than that after a year in juco is very slim. If juco is a realistic option for him then he is making a mistake and not signing now.

If juco is the route he is considering I can’t imagine it’s a California juco. They don’t allow athletic scholarships and I don’t think a kid like that is gonna pass up 1.7 from Cleveland and turn down a full ride and some nice sweat pants money to LSU just to pay his own way to play average juco baseball near his house
Posted on 7/26/26 at 10:54 pm to BatonrougeCajun
A kid who is turning down 1.7 million probably isn’t concerned with the cost of tuition. Just my thoughts

It just doesn't make sense to turn down the kind of money he was offered then turn around and go to JUCO. As Lester said, playing vs JUCO competition isn't going to prove enough to make that significant of a jump in salary. Plus he would be turning down what he could make in NIL at LSU.
Not to mention, if he blows out his elbow in juco, he may not get drafted at all next year, on top of losing out on a payday from Cleveland or LSUNIL. You'd have to be a moron to go juco!

I wonder if any of this JUCO smoke is to leverage more NIL money? Certainly doesn’t hurt.

FWIW Moscona said on Locked On that no decision is imminent and that he is likely to go JUCO. Only reason he really gave that I heard was that Schmidt never planned on going to college and wouldn't want to spend 3 years here. I did fast forward through some of it. Maybe I missed something. But, I don't think I did.
Posted on 7/27/26 at 6:10 am to TigerLunatik
I wouldn’t read into anything Scona is saying. Probably came from this thread.

This. At best, he raises his value 200-300k. At worst? Loses an MLB signing bonus and multiple years of development and NIL.

Then why not sign with Cleveland, get 1.7mm and be in the best farm for pitching development in the league?
Posted on 7/27/26 at 7:50 am to Lester Earl
This is true but wasn’t his issue that Cleveland just ran out of money? In other words, they thought he was worth more but didn’t have the means to offer it? If not, JUCO seems like a dead end exactly as you say.
