Three of top four @Braves @MLBDraft arms have agreed to terms: Joey Wentz ($3.05 mil), Kyle Muller ($2.5 mil), Drew Harrington ($900k).

I thought Ian Anderson would have signed by now. Maybe he's asking for more now that he was drafted so high?
Also, $3 million seems like an awful lot for a supplemental 1st round pick. Sure hope Wentz develops those 3 plus pitches.

$2.5 for Muller? Do 2nd round picks generally sign for that much?
I must admit I am rather new to the drafting scene and the prices of the contracts they sign for, as 2015 was the first year I actually paid a lot of attention to a draft. I'm also curious how the money slots work. Are teams only allowed to spend the total sum of what their draft slots are worth? Are teams given this money to spend or is it out of pocket? Like I said, I'm a newbie so sorry if these come out as ignorant rookie questions.

With the current (flawed) system, teams can sign 1st rounders for under-slot deals, then re-allocate higher deals further down the draft. They can spend up to 5% in excess of their pool and pay a tax penalty - anything over that and they forfeit a draft pick. Teams are assigned a pool of money to spend.
Now...back to the announcements.

1st-rder Hudson Sanchez signs w/@Padres for $1 mil (pick 24 = $2,191,200). Texas HS bat for avg & power, more 3B/OF than SS. @MLBDraft

Thanks for the info Jaypers
Wow, so the #24 pick signs for $1 million but the the 40th pick (Wentz) gets $3 million. Hopefully Wentz pans out.
I heard that the reason Ian Anderson hasn't signed is because he has to wait until the 23rd (or something around there) to graduate before he can.

Heard that as well.
BTW, I have it on good authority the sell sheets for Bowman Draft will be out this week.

Wonder if he's any relation to Tony's woman from Iron Man....
Hudson Belinsky @hudsonbelinsky
#Padres 1st rounder Hudson Sanchez goes by Hudson Potts now, taking his step father's last name.
