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


It is but he could come here, learn under Dunn for 3 years while partying and slaying sorostitutes for 3 years and put himself in the position to make much more. Do the right thing, Mac.

Nix's is signing at 1.1 over slot. His total signing bonus is 1.5.

Do the Astros have other overslots than Nix?

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.


Is there a rule against prospects signing a guaranteed contract? As I understand it the $'s being discussed refer to signing bonuses. Why couldn't the Astros sign Aiken to a contract for $4M that has a guaranteed salary that makes up the difference? Then use the rest of their unused bonus towards others?

The salary of minor league players is structured. it's the signing bonus where these guys make their money.
