Mets 2018 Draft Results

Players (other than players who have exhausted their college eligibility) have until Friday, July 6th to sign. Picks in the first 10 rounds in the draft are assigned pool values. The total pool value of the Mets' 10 picks from the 2018 Draft's first 10 rounds is $9,580,900. If the Mets sign all of these first 10 picks, that total represents the penalty-free money they would be able to spend. Any amount over that total would be taxed at a 75% rate. Any amount more than 5% over that total would result in the loss of future draft picks (this is a threshold that has not yet been breached by any club). Additionally, for all signings outside the first 10 rounds for more than $125,000, the overage counts against the pool total. Any unsigned picks from the first 10 rounds do not contribute their pick value to the Mets 2018 pool. For any unsigned picks from the first 3 rounds, the Mets will receive a compensatory pick in the 2019 draft.

* Pool totals only include full bonus and allotment amount for the first 10 rounds. Bonuses after the first 10 rounds are included in the bonus total net of their individual $125,000 allotments.

* Players shown in gray have known bonuses outside of the top 10 rounds that by virtue of being at or below the $125,000 threshold do not impact the overall bonus pool.

Thanks to everyone who tweets, e-mails, etc to help me put this list together & keep it updated. Hat tips, especially, to @WexlerRules, who is an absolute must-follow this time of year, as he is routinely the first person in my twitter timeline to sniff out signings before they have been reported. Also thanks to @PSLToFlushing, @nymets945, @tobyhyde, @MitchNYM, @DanDotLewis, @RealKenDick, @JohnMackinAde, @Astromets31, and obviously @jimcallisMLB, @JonathanMayo, and all the folks at @BaseballAmerica.
