9.271 - Trent Baker [RHP; Angelo State] ($153,300) - $75,000 (+$78,300)
10.301 - Osvaldo Tovalin [3B; Azusa Pacific University] ($144,600) - $50,000 (+94,600)

Cardinals Bonus Pool: $8,167,100
Cardinals Bonus Pool + 5%: $8,575,455
Money Spent: $195,000
Money Remaining: $8,380,455

The Cardinals saved just under 545k which should push Baez's bonus close to $2M, which I'd imagine would be enough to get a deal done.  I've heard that $1M is the number for Willis, but can't get any confirmation on that one.

Money Spent: $2,945,000
Money Remaining: $5,630,455

Now that we have Michael McGreevy's official bonus number, we get a bit more clear picture of the situation regarding Baez and Willis.  Assuming that the rest of the Cardinals picks sign for slot value, the Cardinals will have $3,234,505 left to spend on Josh Baez and Alec Willis.  ASSUMING that $1M number that I've seen floated around is the number to get Willis to sign, that leaves just a bit over $2.2M to sign Baez which would be slot value for the ~33rd overall pick.  If they're able to save more money with their other picks, they could potentially push Baez close to $2.5M.

Congrats to Alex Reyes on his accomplishment. Became 1st Cardinal closer to convert his first 24 save opportunities (beating out Eckersley's previous record).

That's quite a feat.

isnt he the first ever to do that?

Thought I saw he beat LeTroy Hawkins record

You're right! I missed that part. Even more impressive.

So glad we didn't sell low on him like so many others recently. 

Still think he needs to be a starter. With a normal season/offseason its time to stretch him out for 2022

Especially with the hope that Hicks will be back next year

He definitely will. Schildt and Girsch have both said recently they still view him as a starter longterm and he will prepare for that role in offseason.
