Blue Jays sign first rounder Arjun Nimmala
that Nimmala had already slipped down the draft board into the Blue Jays lap as a player multiple evaluators had in the top 10, having him available to them 20th overall was seen as fortuitous. Nevermind signing him at the roughly the slot value for the 27th overall pick, freeing up money to land additional talent down the board. In doing2023 Bluebird Banter Draft Signing Tracker
It is not unprecedent for high school players to slide down draft boards in favour of “safer” college options, and that would especially apply to a draft class that was considered historically deep in that regard. That explained Nimmala making to the Jays’ pick in the first place, but it would appear there was immediate interest from the teams immediately beyond the Jays, and hence a significant cut relative to slot was still the best alternative.
In the 2011 collective agreement when MLB agreed to hard draft slots and bonus pools, critically those totals were tied to industry revenues in terms of their future growth. Thus, while in 2012 the slot for the 20th overall pick was $1,850,000 it’s now almost double. Even well-underslot, Nimmala still ends up with two-thirds more from the Jays than Marcus Stroman got 21st overall that first year.
Getting back to the implications to the 2023 Blue Jays draft class, saving $746,000 in addition to the $326,485 they can exceed their pool staying within 5% gives them about $1.07-million of slot room to work with., reducing the available pool room just under $1-million. A good chunk will be ticked for 4th-round pick Landen Maroudis, who will likely come upwards of $1-million.
