The MLB Draft has come and gone, and most of the draftees that will sign already have. If you’re wondering how the Mariners have fared with their picks, here is a quick roundup.
As a refresher, slot value is the value assigned to each position in the top 10 rounds of the draft; the total of a team’s slot values is the bonus pool that each team has to work with. The total signing bonuses given to each player may not exceed the bonus pool without having a substantial luxury tax imposed.
The Mariner’s total bonus pool was $6,737,300. After getting those top 10 picks signed, they doled out bonuses totally $6,697,800.
Round 1: 1B Evan White
Slot Value: $3,333,200
Bonus: $3,125,000
Look for him in Everett this summer.
Round 2: RHP Sam Carlson
Slot Value: $1,206,900
Bonus: $2,000,000
This was a real get for the Mariners. Carlson passed up a scholarship to Florida to sign.
Round 3: RHP Wyatt Mills
Slot Value: $579,800
Bonus: $125,000
A surprise pick out of Gonzaga University, Mills saved the Mariners quite a bit in bonus pool money.
Round 4: RHP Seth Elledge
Slot Value: $428,900
Bonus: $400,000
Round 5: C David Banuelos
Slot Value: $320,300

Round 6: LHP Oliver Jaskie
Slot Value: $245,600

Round 10: RHP Randy Bell
Slot Value: $133,000

Rounds 11-40
We don’t have to worry about bonus pools anymore, unless a player happens to sign for more than $125,000. Considering the 10th Round pick signed for $10,000 we probably don’t need to worry about that.
