Deduct $25,000 for Moran, who signed over slot.

This just in. I figured it incorrectly the first time. Remaining amount for over slot is $8100. That means that there is little flexibility unless either the college players sign for under slot or the Reds decide to take a monetary penalty.

Thanks!

Please?

Here is the Buckley interview from Monday afternoon (now slightly out of date with CWS). When he says that a player is "reporting" it is to the Goodyear camp.

Thanks for posting this, 72. Nice to hear Buckley speak highly of Mejias-Brean, among others.

So I guess that means Gelalich will sign this weekend.

Yes. Again, if you want to discuss the fairness of offering college seniors less money compared to college juniors, please start a thread about it. This thread is reserved for news of player signings.

Seth Mejias-Brean has signed for 125k

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA
One more #CWS performer for #Reds: #Arizona 3B Seth Mejias-Brean for $125k ($136,300 pick value). Good defender, gap power. #mlbdraft

This leaves Jeff Gelalich as our only pick in first 12 rds unsigned. Pretty awesome.

Reds Land Gelalich For $825,000

Filed under: Signings
The Reds have signed supplemental first-round pick Jeff Gelalich for $825,000.

After hitting a combined .284 with four homers in his first two seasons at UCLA, Gelalich led the Bruins to the College World Series by batting .351 with 11 longballs this spring. A right fielder, he has average or better tools across the board.

The assigned value for Gelalich's No. 57 slot was $897,800. Cincinnati also signed UCLA outfielder Beau Amaral (seventh round) for $146,000 and agreed to terms with Arizona third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean (eighth) for $125,000, wrapping up all of their picks in the first 10 rounds and leaving them $92,400 under their total bonus pool of $6,653,800.

Well done.

Now let's use that extra $92K to go out and sign Boyd or Ortiz
