It doesn't appear to be much of a factor since NIL was implemented.

But even if NIL was, it's a scout's job to find out before the draft what a kid and his family are willing to sign for.

If a guy gets drafted high, a team has good reason to believe the player is going to sign for X amount. At that point, NIL is not a factor.

Usually, if there's a breakdown in the negotiations after the pick has been made, it's due to a medical reason and the team backtracks on its signing bonus figure.

ALCS runner up champion is not an actual championship.

You know this, correct?

The HR Derby champ is WS bound.

They did go for it in round 11. Picked up an OF who was ranked 115 on MLB's top 250. Considered one of the best hitters in the SEC.

Trying to pull what they did with David Sandlin and Austin Charles last year.

They also drafted a guy named Ethan Bosacker...Bosacker hilarious name.

Dodgers drafted D.J. Uiagalelei, the former Clemson QB in the draft.

With the draft in the books, I have fairly gross Allard Baird vibes from this one.

No consistent vision or plan going on there. They took a cheaper sign at #8 and don't seem to have a plan to really spend that money (and if the plan is to spend it on the kid they took at 44 and Dickey, I must say I think that plan is, frankly, pretty godsdamned stupid).

Even Baird would run into the occasional Greinke or Gordo, two players GMDM never could come close to matching WAR wise through the draft.

This looks like GMDM's frugality at the top with no plan whatsoever for how to take advantage of that in the later rounds.
