Here\u2019s what people have been saying:<\/p>\n

@GiantHotTakes:<\/a> \u201cJackson Flora signs a bit below slot value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Young:<\/a> \u201cI suspected that Jackson Flora would sign an underslot deal. Those savings will almost certainly be reallocated to the rest of the class, including Carson Bolemon<\/a> and Kaden Waechter<\/a>. I\u2019d bet that both get overslot deals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Monreal:<\/a> \u201cThe #SFGiants save roughly $1 million with the signing of Flora. This should help them sign Bolemon\/Waechter.\u201d<\/p>\n
