    They can take some of the slot money from other draftees and add it to the offer for a player while offering other players less than their slot value. Surprising how it went down because Cairo's dad is a former major leaguer and you would think his family doesn't have to have the money.

    ohhh, so if a draftee turns down an offer, then they can spread his slot money around?

    I don't think so. I think if a pick doesn't sign the team loses the ability to spend that money but if a pick signs for less than his slot value the team can add it to their offer for another player.

    At first I thought this was a racist foreign policy thread.

    yes India made a deal with Egypt to provide Muslim extremists to fight because they don't have enough problems with Pakistan. LOL. That is a better story

    I admit right off the bat (bad pun intended) that I know very little about how all of this works, so I'm curious about why a pick would sign for less if he knows his slot value?

    If he is a senior he wouldn't have another choice. Or a latin player who will take anything for a shot at the bigs. Could be high school players too dumb to go to college.
