Jackson Ferris is one of nine unsigned players drafted in first
two rounds.
Callis says all expected to sign by the Monday deadline.

Horton and his selection has obviously dominated draft
discussions for good reason. But the riskier $3M Ferris pick,
that's a really significant risky and expensive guy.
Johnson and Pareda will have substantial deals coming, but at
present only 18 guys have gotten ≥$3M deals. So Ferris
will be one of only 21 guys that get to $3M. He's getting
valued and paid like a solid first-rounder; I think the
expectations/hopes should be commensurate with that. Bryant got
a huge deal. Horton, HOward (3.7), and Almora (3.9) got deals
larger than Ferris. And obviously it's dumb to ignore
inflation.
But Ferris at $3.0 will be essentially on par with Happ (3.0),
Schwarbs (3.1), and Wicks (3.1). And ahead of thriftier first
rounders like Nico (2.7), Little (2.2), Jensen (2.0) and Lange
(1.9).
Kantro obviously really values the guy and sees some big
possibilities. We really are justified in viewing Ferris as a
1st round guy with first-round possibilities, and not as a
late-round first either.
I admit some puzzlement as to the delay in his signing. The
$3.0M slot has been defined for a while. What's the holdup?
Who knows, and perhaps who cares. Maybe his grandfather has a
big birhtday and family reunion? Maybe his mom and dad wanted
to come along for the signing and this weekend is better? Maybe
his sister got Covid so he didn't want to expose the plane?
Probably nothing of any concern. I do admit, though, that the
last time a first-rounder took a puzzlingly long time to sign,
it was Alex Lange, who'd failed his physical. HOping it's
nothing like that at issue with Ferris.
Tangent: When the twitter pictures of signings get shared, is
that the player posting those, or the Cubs? Perhaps for all I
know Ferris signed on Wednesday, but*if* the Cubs don't post
them and Ferris doesn't happen to be an Instagram guy or Twitter
guy or whatever, maybe he's just not told the world even thought
it's already happened?

$3M is just about slot for overall pick #24 this draft.
So, definitely first round money.

"Slot" is a great guide. A context for me is that only half of
first rounders actually get slot. Picks 20-30, half got slot,
half were sub-slot. Picks 10-20, 4 were slot, 5 were sub-slot,
Pareda will presumably get the slot guys up to 50%. Picks 1-10,
4 got slot.
No great insight there, just something that I observed. Just
the context that when a guy gets paid like slot-24 (Ferris) or
slot-13 (Horton), there may not be 23 or 12 guys getting paid
more. Both Ferris's slot and his pay will put him in the top
20-25.
