Not sure what's going on but, Bo Way is pitching the 5th inning of a 2-1 game http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2018_06_17_mobaax_penaax_1&t=g_box&sid=milb

Jesus Castillo pitched just 3 innings today (36 pitches). Since he is already on 40-man roster (last man standing), is he being called up for Tues start? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2018_06_17_mobaax_penaax_1&t=g_box&sid=milb

Anatomy of a bonus Nevada outfielder T.J. Friedl received a $732,500 bonus from the Cincinnati Reds, the largest ever for a free agent after the MLB draft. Here's how that figure was determined: $30,000 -- Roughly the amount the Reds hadn't spent against their $13,923,700 draft pool allotted by Major League Baseball. $100,000 -- The amount that MLB allows each team to spend on picks after the 10th round that doesn't count against their overall bonus pool. $600,000 -- Additional bonus money spend on Friel. $450,000 -- A 75 percent tax on the $600,000. Total payout for the Reds to add Friel to their 2016 draft class: $1.18 million For sake of comparison, the 54th overall slot in this year's draft, held by the Baltimore Orioles, was valued at $1.18 million. The 85th overall slot, held by the San Diego Padres, was valued at $730,400. This provides some frame of reference where Friedl might have gone if clubs had known he was eligible for the 2016 draft.

3:41 What team had your favorite draft haul? Eric A Longenhagen 3:42 CLE, KC, LAA, TEX

Eric Longenhagen Prospects Chat 3:37 What are the chances Angels can sign Isaish Campbell and/or Chandler Champlain? Seems like a waste of a pick if they never had a chance of signing them Eric A Longenhagen 3:39 If you don't have roster spots to fill on your rookie-level affiliates, you can take a flier on someone like that in case something weird happens where they become signable. Don't think it's a waste if nobody else on the board does anything for you https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-6-14/

Info from BA and MLB has sucked so far this year. Should have better idea tomorrow night after Orem Owlz roster is posted.
