Social Media Reacts

Here’s what people have been saying:
@GiantHotTakes: “Jackson Flora signs a bit below slot value.”
Jeff Young: “I 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 and Kaden Waechter. I’d bet that both get overslot deals.”
Michael Monreal: “The #SFGiants save roughly $1 million with the signing of Flora. This should help them sign Bolemon/Waechter.”
