Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a $2.5 million contract with the Nationals in July of 2025.
Gets record signing bonus
James agreed to a contract with the Nationals on Thursday that included a $2.5 million signing bonus, Bobby Blanco of MASN Sports reports.
Analysis
It's the largest bonus ever given to a player taken outside the first four rounds of the draft -- slot value for the 142nd overall pick was just $508.900 -- but it bought James out of a commitment to Ole Miss. The prep shortstop is a long way from the majors and could end up shifting down the defensive spectrum, but he has the potential to hit for both average and power once he matures.
