I did say during the draft that it was possibly the Mets were intending to pay him more than the seniors they picked in the top 10 rounds. I said they might pay him $125K, so I was wrong on that, but right on the idea.

85K plus below poverty level wages paid only during the season until he reaches an MLB 40 man roster.

Glad he got the bonus, but he has a tough road ahead of him.

Believed to be the 3rd highest senior sign bonus this year.


MLB really needs to impose a rule that teams can’t low ball seniors. It’s bullshite how guys get screwed over for basically wanting to have a college degree. At least they should be getting slot value.

So being picked outside the top 10 rounds helped Duplantis? Doesn’t the team’s pool count for just the top 10 rounds or am I wrong on that?

I feel like those that brag about what money they make... actually make about half of that. But P&G... the fries at your McDonalds location are the best.


I don't agree with that at all.



The fries at his place suck.

There literally is no reason to ever come back your senior year if drafted even half way decent. It's such bs s

This is absolutely false. It might be true with this idiot but I haven’t heard one person rip the players and praise Orgeron.

Now they might say well that loss was on the OL or DL or what not but that’s not the same thing. Geez you people are insufferable.

I don't follow contract signings. Do seniors usually get shafted with low signing bonuses?

If so, it's clearly because they have no bargaining power, right?

Geaux Braves!
