Unless there are numbers transposed, he signed below slot.

And for about $50K less than what the Yankees could have offered him.

Actually no, he signed for full slot value per. Straight from the Pro tweets. Read the article

quote:

LSU shortstop Josh Smith has officially signed with the New York Yankees on Wednesday for $976,700, which was his full slot value. Smith was selected by the Yankees in the second round of the 2019 MLB Draft with the 67th overall pick.

Kind of odd for a second round pick to wait this long to sign for basically slot value. Wonder what the hold-up was.

Okay? That's why I said "Unless there are some numbers transposed", because it looked like they could be.

You said “below slot”. Facts show he signed for “full slot” value. Geez

Yeah you were 99% sure of it.

At least you have something in common with Jalen Rose now. You both claimed you were 99% sure something would happen, coming from a solid source, and you were both wrong.

I'm sorry, I responded to you under the assumption you were of normal cognitive function. Clearly that's not the case, and I apologize.
