100% the reason it's a 2nd round pick and not a 1st is because his paid contract is $20M ($2M for 10 years even if his AAV says it's $46.6M in game which is technically incorrect) which is under the first tier of compensation for losing FAs according to MLB. Bottom tier (Competitive Balance Round B): if the player signs a contract worth $50M
