Nix agreed to $1.5 million already, around $1 million over slot. Aiken's slot is $7.9 million, so $5.75 million would leave about $1 million left over to offer Mac.

Edit: Didn't include Mac's $100K slot value or the extra 5%.

Mac's friend said he wanted at least 2, but yeah 1.5 is a nice chunk of change

He could make 5 himself under Dunn after 3 years

Recent SBNation numbers crunching story says Astros would have to offer Aiken no more than $5.4M to have about $1.5M left for Marshall. #LSU

I don't think it matters. They know what it will take for Marshall to sign.

Add that to the $100,000 base and you get $760K the Astros can offer on too of the pool left from the slot minus Aiken's actual contract and Nix's 1.1 over slot.
