Ironic that the Cardinals pick was a compensatory pick from losing Heyward to the Cubs in free agency.

Every pick in the first ten rounds has a slot value. Teams can go over or under however much they want but the total paid in the first ten rounds cannot excees the total slot available.

Any excess slot carries over past round ten where every slot is 100k.

However of a player in the first ten rounds is not signed,all of that slot money is lost.

I was reading up on the MLB slot value system and it's about as clear as the internal revenue code. But I saw that just because a pick has a given slot value, it does not mean that the pick is guaranteed that money, right? They could pay less than the slot value for a first round pick and later give that as a bonus to a later round pick who might be on the fence about signing with the club or going to college.

Correct. Its really about the total slot in the first ten rds

so sometimes a team may draft a sr or a jr that wants to leave where slot is 400k but they can sign him for 10k and create extra slot money.

"Cubs" is actually the Latin word for "ironic".

See: Louis Clark Brock

Maybe it's Latin for "stupid".....
