The <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/">Toronto Blue Jays</a> have signed another one of their 2025 draft prospects.

It was reported by <a href="http://mlb.com">MLB.com</a>’s Jim Callis on Saturday afternoon that they’ve signed Canadian third baseman Tim Piasentin to a bonus of $747,500. This is an over-slot deal, as the slot value for the 143rd overall pick is $503,800.

Born in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Piasentin attended Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks, Alberta. Before the draft, he ranked as <a href="https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects/draft/tim-piasentin-815992">MLB Pipeline’s 160th best draft prospect</a>, noted for his above-average power from the left side of the plate, as well as a strong arm for third base. The hit tool is a concern, and he whiffs on pitches; moreover, he could move to a corner outfield spot or first base.

&nbsp;
If he begins his professional career after draft camp, you can expect the 18-year-old to begin with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays. Piasentin wasn’t the only Canadian player drafted by the Blue Jays, as they selected <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-select-micah-bucknam-112th-overall">Micah Bucknam</a> in the round before him.
With Piasentin’s signing, the Blue Jays have now signed 17 of 19 draft picks, according to <a href="https://www.baseballamerica.com/draft-results/">Baseball America’s</a><a href="https://www.baseballamerica.com/draft-results/"> draft tracker</a>. <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-select-jared-spencer-322nd-overall">Jared Spencer</a> signed for $165,000, with $15,000 going towards their bonus pool. Jordan Rich, Noah Palmese, Casey Jake, Jaxson West, and Luke Kovach all signed for slot value for rounds 11-20 ($150,000). Will Creswell signed for $100,000.
As for the remainder of their picks in the top 10 rounds, Eric Snow signed for $381,100, Dylan Watts signed for $197,500, and Karson Ligon signed for $125,000. There is very little money left in their bonus pool, but they only have one more player to sign in Trace Baker. The 13th-round pick has a slot value of $150,000, so this should be done sooner rather than later.
It was expected, but Ty Peeples won’t be signed, as the Blue Jays used all their signings between Piasentin and <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-agree-terms-with-jake-cook-blaine-bullard">Blaine Bullard</a>.
