The draft is over but we aren't done. Plenty more coverage of the draft at BA in the coming days (and hours) including our annual UDFA tracker which you can find below. Tag us if you guys are seeing or hearing any UDFAs and we will get them added: baseballamerica.com/stories/2025-m…
I'll be chatting about the draft at 2 p.m. ET today. Get your questions in if you have them: baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-dr…
More signings added to our draft database this morning. We are up to 366 signed players. I think Andrew Fischer with the Brewers ($3.5 million) might be the most prominent new add that I have not yet seen reported: baseballamerica.com/draft-results/

Another signings update to the draft database. We have nearly 300 players with official deals accounted for: baseballamerica.com/draft-results/
A few Cubs signings: 5th Kade Snell, $200,000 7th Pierce Coppola, $278,500 8th Jake Knapp, $175,000 9th Colton Book, $100,000 10th Justin Stransky, $140,000 11th Eli Jerzembeck, $150,000 15th Noah Edders, $100,000
By my count the Marlins have spent $12,909,975 towards the pool and have $3,036,795 remaining (assuming full 5% overage) with only supplemental first rounder Cam Cannarella and their 20th round pick Cannon Pickell left to sign.
Other Marlins signings: 4th Drew Faurot, $531,225 6th Joey Volini, $297,750 7th Jake Clemente, $500,000 8th Emilio Barreras Rojo, $122,500 10th Jake McCutcheon, $192,200
The Marlins signed 9th rounder Kaiden Wilson to a $697,500 deal. Slot value for the 258th pick is $209,600. A $487,900 over slot deal.
The Marlins signed 5th rounder Chris Arroyo to a $521,400 deal. Slot value for the 139th pick is $523,900. Essentially slot value with the signing contingency.
The Royals signed 3rd rounder Cameron Millar for $1,497,500. Slot value for the 97th overall pick is $788,500. A $709,000 over slot deal.
The Rockies signed 3rd rounder Ethan Hedges for $950,000. Slot value for the 77th overall pick is $1,060,300. A $110,300 under slot deal.
The Rockies signed supplemental second rounder Max Belyeu for $1,111,000. That's slot value for the 74th overall pick.
I've got the Blue Jays at $10,829,900 spent so far. That leaves exactly $430 left to spend without going over the 5% overage. I'd assume they are done.
Baker has been signed. #BlueJays only have Peeples remaining, which seems like a long shot.
Chase DeLauter will visit hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham next week. Jace LaViolette is not expected to get to an affiliate this year. He broke his hand, underwent surgery and had a cleanup procedure after Texas A&M's SEC Tourney run.
The Braves have signed each of their top 10 round picks. The last three for me: 4c Dixon Williams, $497,500 6th Landon Beidelschies, $297,500 7th Zach Royse, $197,500 They have $117,655 leftover (counting full 5% overage) for any 11-20 players who need more than $150K.
