Has Braden officially declared for the draft? It sounds like a lot of players want to come back and stick it to the dirt bag that left us. Is there any chance with NIL and the right coach he comes back?

So does his injury not affect his potential draft status? He was expected to be around five before he hit his slump in May and before he broke his ankle.
I wonder what affect those two things will have. If his Mom is a doctor money may not be as important as it is to others. I think he is going to get to the majors at about the same time whether he plays here or in the minors because he will have to learn to trust that smile again mentally and physically.
The saga of A&M baseball continues. So many story lines.

Here is the Slot Money you are looking at.

Even if we got him $6M in NIL, he'd have another issue. In MLB, teams often draft Seniors and lowball them because they know he has little power. They may not want to screw BM over, but they could offer him $100K to sign and if he doesn't, he ends up playing Indy ball and unaffiliated to get drafted the next year.
Once a MLB team signs a player, they have control of him for 3-5 years of organizational control depending on his age when signed... and then once he starts playing MLB... the team gets him for 3 Serf years (league Minimum of $700K +/-) and then 3 Arb years.
If BM can get his MLB clock rolling in 2025, he'll be a FA sooner to make legit money.
I hope the Astros get him. And please don't get into a pissing war with me between the Astros and the Rangers or any rude comments, I'm not looking for an MLB fight. I just made a comment to my preference.Sean98 said:
You don't declare for the draft in baseball like you do in basketball.
He will be drafted, very high, and will be a great MLB ambassador for our program.
His slot value will likely be $5-8M.
It was a clean break and he's already out of his cast.Sq 17 said:
I am glad Braden won't be back because that means his injury is minor and he can get on with becoming an MLB player

I read somewhere that you don't have to declare for the draft. Can someone confirm?
oh crap, yep, I forgot, well there's that. It's always interesting that the worst teams get the best players but then again sometimes the worst teams end up being the best team so I guess it's just a turkey shoot.tingyi0705 said:
He is a top 10 pick. No way Astros or Rangers get him
