There were some bids, however his status is confusing between PP and full contract bids. We adjusted the rules after the draft this year to make things easier and clearer (as stated in the Ohtani post)
We will repost him during open free agency but to clarify:
He will be a PP bid. He has spent a season in the minors, so had our new rules been in effect at the time he would have been draft eligible as well. We made a more clear set of rules (where there previously were none) and aligned who is draft eligible with who is a PP bid. But since we did it after this years draft, he is the one exception case. To be fair to everyone, he will be posted on open FA and everyone now has a clear ruling on how he will be bid on.
Thank you and sorry for the confusion.
