Summary
Lima laments buying a jersey for second-round pick Logan Schmidt only to learn the left-hander went unsigned after switching agents right before the draft and reportedly seeking $3-4 million against a $1.6 million slot value. Producer John, the in-house investigator, lays out how Schmidt's stock slid due to poor pre-draft interviews despite elite tools, and that his likely next stop is a JUCO program to re-enter next year's draft rather than LSU. Lima and Lance debate whether the gamble was worth it, with Lance putting the blame on the player for turning down a team renowned for developing pitching, while Lima notes the Guardians do get a compensatory pick at 60 next year.
