61st overall pick Trayce Thompson has signed a contract for $625,000.

The minor surprise is that he signed for just under $30,000 over slot. The numbers floating around were a little bit higher. Thompson is the first high draft pick of the White Sox to sign for over slot this year.

It is expected that Thompson will report to Bristol to begin his professional career. Expectations should be reserved for his opening stint because he was regarded as a very raw player taken on the basis of his impressive upside and potential.

With Thompson’s signing, the highest remaining unsigned pick is 3rd rounder Bryan Morgado. Morgado has been doing well in the Cape Cod League this summer. In 27 innings, he has 39 strikeouts to 12 walks with a 1.67 ERA. This kind of production will likely require an above slot bonus for Morgado as well. The estimated slot for Morgado’s 102nd spot is just under $320,000. 7th rounder Justin Jones, a high school pitcher, also remains unsigned.
