Signing Rumors

Kyle Martin ‏@KyleMartin32 7 Jun. Just gotta sign some papers to officially become part of the Boston Red Sox! So blessed and thankful to have this opportunity!

@kileymcd: Red Sox sign 11th rounder 2B Carlos Asauje from Nova Southeastern for about $100k. Small 2B can really hit, modest overall tools.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 40s
#RedSox 2nd-rder Teddy Stankiewicz's bonus is an even $1.1 mil. Seminole State (Okla.) JC RHP can run FB to 96 mph, SL to 85. #mlbdraft

Not Signing Rumors

20th round pick Boldt reportedly not signing.
22nd round Burkamper reportedly not signing.
38th rounder Morrison reportedly not signing.

I have a friend who played against Asuaje, he said he's a "vacuum" defensively. He's more known for his hitting.

[Standing Room]

I have "inside information" that Speier will sign on Thursday.

[italstallianion]

If we can turn one "unlikely to sign" into a "signed" then I think we did a good job. I like our crop of players vs. other teams, but we have to sign as many guys as possible to take advantage of it. We're definitely off to a good start. Do you know what the slot was for Stank's pick?

Edit: Stank's slot value was $1,229,600, and we signed him for $1,100,000 so we did save a little on him.

[italstallianion]

According to Soxprospects, Myles Smith (4th round) and Jake Romanski (14th round) have signed.

Running for Myles ‏@thesmith_Wesson 22h
Bout to take this nap and then it's off to Bean town

Jake Romanski ‏@jakeromanski 12m
On my way to boston!

If previous years are any indication, we'll sign something like 85% of our top 25 picks and then pick and choose 2-3 of our bottom 15 picks that we most like and/or have the most reasonable demands. It looks like we're going to have plenty of room to sign Denney and have money left over. I still don't think we'll be able to sign Sheffield, but we might be able to sign a second overslot guy like Longhi.

Thanks, I'll bold them.

Duplicate.

[Standing Room]

Bolded Austin. He watched BP with the team today and is now on his way to Boston to sign.

Jordon Austin⚾✈ ‏@jordonmfaustin
Flying to Boston on Sunday !! ✈

Bolded Drehoff

Two days later, Drehoff flew to Boston to be examined by team doctors. This Saturday, he plans to report to Fort Myers and the Red Sox’s Gulf Coast Rookie League affiliate where he said he’ll sign his professional contract.

Bolded Gunkel

“I think I’m going down into the minor leagues as a starter,” Gunkel says. “Trying to master my craft there and just see what happens. Just happy to get the opportunity and whatever they allow me to do I’ll be fine with.”

[Standing Room]

Bolded Littrell, should be interesting to see what his signing bonus is. He actually has some leverage.

Corey Littrell ‏@clittrell21
See ya lexington. It's been real!

I would consider it a succesful draft if they can sign Denney and Sheffield regardless of what else happens.

I would consider it a succesful draft if they can sign Denney and Sheffield regardless of what else happens.

Sheffield is going to be a damn hard sign. He's committed to Vandy, which is probably the best college in the nation when it comes to arms, they do an outrageous job developing there. Tyler Beede (currently there, drafted 21st overall last year), David Price, Mike Minor, Sonny Gray, the list goes on.

If Sheffield goes to Vandy he's got the potential to be a 1st round selection after his junior year.

I know, but stranger things have happened

[SoxFanForsyth]

Certainly, I mean Dellin Betances I believe was a Vandy commit, but he ended up going to the Yanks.
