$135K is his signing bonus. He will also be paid the same salary as every other player in single A baseball.
Some of you folks really don't understand how it works.
All of the SEC baseball programs, as well as most of the other better baseball league schools, go through this every year with their recruits. It's the nature of the beast. If they don't lose some recruits to professional baseball then they aren't recruiting and signing top talent in the first place.
I'd love to see every one of the recruits for UT and every other college end up enrolling and attending college and playing college baseball, but that's just not realistic.
Yeah, and that ranges from less than $1000/month to a whopping $2150/month. It's a great life of poverty, but hey, they're playing baseball!
