I don't post the signing bonus requirements for players. Those are kept pretty confidential. You can safely assume its seven figures. Given his talent level and where he'll go in the draft, he's signable.

Seager is a Boras client.

Thats good all I am wishing for is a high dollar amount. I assumed it was 7 figures. I know Whittle has said 50/50, just hoping for the best.

Do you think there is even a decent chance Seager comes to Carolina next year? It would be incredible to add that talent.

If a team drafts him and tries to get him below the slot, it's not out of the question. As I said in the MLB Draft Insider, there are factors pushing him to school.

Good article from MLB.com:
Seager is being advised by agent Scott Boras, who put White through a miserable aborted negotiation over Luke Hochevar in 2005, but also reached a relatively quick settlement with No. 1 pick Chris Reed last year.
"I anticipate everything moving along well," said White, who has $1.95 million to spend on the 18th slot through the new signing bonus arrangement. "I don't anticipate acrimony. Time will tell, and we will see. I won't predict we'll sign him, but I feel good about it. If there was a lot of ill will [from last year], we would have shied away. I've talked to his dad and had no problem."
