DOB just tweeted Stewart is expected to sign.
If it’s 4 million then I’d think a Hess or Vodnik signing wouldn’t be far behind.
The Hess thing is so interesting to me. If Stewart signs for 4 million, I think the math is correct that we'd have around 1.2-1.3 million to offer Hess. Is that really enough for him? I'm skeptical.
I'd sell him on being our Joey Devine and giving him every shot to pitch in the big league bullpen this year. He was a dominant reliever at LSU in 2017 when he was a freshman. Absolutely lights out. Then this year, he moved into the rotation and was just ok. He pitched for the collegiate Team USA yesterday and touched 97 in a three-inning stint. I really think he can move fast as a reliever, and I'd sell the chance for him to be involved in a division race. Still not sure if that money would really be enough for him though.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Matt Powers just tweeted
“With just over 24 hours to go before the signing deadline, I’m starting to feel less confident in the chances of the Braves signing Carter Stewart than I was earlier today. Two different reports have seemed to turn momentum the other way“
Wow, this could turn an incredibly successful and exciting draft into a really crappy feeling.
Maybe they should've taken Nolan Gorman smh!
