With Sale and Rodon there won't be a left handed hitter in baseball looking forward to the White Sox coming to town. A lot of right handers won't be real happy either.

He's getting $6.45M. That's about $750k over slot.

What kind of money is left? Any chance they sign that middle round pitcher?

I thought the way the boxed Boras in was that they signed all the others?

there's one huge whale of a guy they took a flier on late. name of Orca. Dude's supposed to be a killer, but doesn't take well to instruction. wants a big kettle of fish to sign.

They used up almost everything on Rodon. Bryce Montes De Oca was always a fallback option anyway.

They did sign all the rest of the Top 10 picks. That is the only money that counts against the CAP. Unless a guy taken after the the top 10 gets more than $100,000. anything over the 100K would count.

Tis looks like a Sox WIN and a Boras WIN.
Sox get the most major league ready arm in the draft.
Boras gest the biggest bonus and makes Jerry pay the fine.

JR will be stewing about that penalty that Boras caused him to pay for the rest of his time as an owner.

Not if he gives JR yet another "last out in the WS" baseball.

From Baseball America

Carlos Rodon is flying to Arizona, where the White Sox’s first-rounder will start his pro career.

Rodon said Friday he will fly to Arizona to continue stretching out and likely will pitch in the Rookie-level Arizona League before reporting to high Class A Winston-Salem on July 28.


“Then it depends on me,” he said of the rest of his pro debut. “I’m not trying to set any expectations.

“If I pitch as well as I can and get promoted, that would be a blessing. But I’m just focused on pitching as well as I can.”

Last night Carlos Rodon made his first professional appearance. He came in for the fifth inning in an Arizona League game against the D-Backs. He pitched one inning gave up a earned run on two hits with one K
