Jays Sign Two Sandwich Picks



The Blue Jays have announced the signing of two of their three sandwich picks, high school righthanders Aaron Sanchez (the No. 34 overall pick) and Noah Syndergaard (No. 38).

Sanchez signed for $775,000. Last year's slot recommendation at No. 34 was $918,000.

Syndergaard signed for $600,000. That's less than MLB's 2009 slot recommendation of $858,600 for the No. 38 choice but more than the money he would have received if he has gone in the fourth or fifth round as expected.

Snydergaard signs for 600k?  A high schooler with huge upside takes a pre draft deal?  Who was the agent?  If he found a team that liked him, and was willing to throw a bit more over the summer, 800k+ was easily attainable.  Too bad his agent wanted a first rounder more than maximizing the kid's value.  Or maybe he didnt have an agent…so if thats the case its too bad all the way around.
