Some signing amounts confirmed by Jonathan Mayo and MLB:

Rd 4 pick Ivan Johnson - $397.50k; Pick Value: $507.40k
Rd 6 pick Graham Ashcraft - $222.50k; Pick Value: $286.50k
Rd 8 pick Quinn Cotton - $147.50k; Pick Value: $178.60k

Total looks to be about $215k saved in those three picks. Senior signings should help even more.

#9 TJ Hopkins who said he was reporting to Goodyear Sunday, has Tweeted 'Officially part of the Cincinnati Reds".

#13 Garrett Wolforth, who was a College Senior and expected to sign, has 'Cincinnati Reds Organization' as part of his Bio header. Marked both as signed.

#26 Quincy McAfee 15 minutes ago made a one word post. "Signed". Now, he might have signed to buy a used car at Car Max, but I'm going make a leap of faith and say he signed with Reds.

#5 Pick Evan Kravetz says he is a professional pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds in his LinkedIn Bio. (That's a first for me). He was college senior and expected to sign.

It's only money....If Senior Jake Stevenson (#10) is our sacrificial lamb, and signs for $10K, the Reds would have a financial penalty but would NOT lose a pick.

I would think Kravetz will be signing for way below slot as well

What is the threshold for losing a pick. How much can they go over?

Round 29 - Yassel Pino - signed per cincinnatireds.com.

What is the threshold for losing a pick. How much can they go over?

Per Sir Douglas Gray:

After round 10, any pick that signs for $125,000 or less does not count towards the bonus pool. Any amount signed for beyond $125,000 for an individual player beyond the 10th round does count towards the bonus pool.
Teams are allowed to go over their allotment, but there are penalties. If a team spends 0-5% over their allotment they simply pay a 75% tax on the amount they went over by. Beyond that teams begin to lose draft picks AND have to pay a 75% or higher tax. No team has ever gone over the 5% threshold.

Here is a link to a more detailed description of what happens if a team exceeds its draft pool: https://www.twinkietown.com/2013/4/1...s-pool-budgets

Are there any HS picks between 11-40 that the Reds might go over the $125K slot to try to sign? I'd guess numbers 11,12,48, and 50. Any thoughts?

I'd think one of the Puerto Rican kids could be a possibility. #12 SS Yan Contreras &/or #11 OF Wendall Morrero

Per Callis - Lodolo officially onboard at full slot value.

[Tom Servo]

Reds.com has Kravetz, Stevenson, Jason Parker, Yassel Pinto, and Tanner Cooper as signing today

[indy_dave00]

Doug Gray has pick #9 TJ Hopkins signing for just $17,500 well under the $156,100 slot number, probably expect #10 pick Jake Stevenson to take well below the $146,300 slot number. Think Kravetz will come in well below the #5 slot of $379,000.

[JaxRed]

I'll use his number. It surprised me a touch because he turned down more than 100k last year and after signing he was ok with this years number. So I expected more like $75k
