@CollegebaseballInsights posted:Note, with the reduction of draft slots, they would only be able to sign as free agent in 2021. Cap I believe at 20k.
There is no negotiation. It might be better to sign as a free agent vs begin selected with no leverage.
The ability to negotiate depends on the situation the player places himself. As I mentioned a player who stays in school through his eligibility loses all negotiation. I agree it’s better to be a free agent than drafted in those circumstances.
