Here is my running view of money spent.
Conclusions to date:
The Cards have already spent more excess than saved by signing Thompson, Pages and Sommers under slot.
In fact, they have spent over half the extra 5% before heavy penalty.
Just under $164,000 excess spend remains.
This assumes Pallante and Ralston sign. If they don’t sign, the pool total will be reduced by their slot amounts, and the extra 5% will decrease accordingly.Round 2019 draft Pick value Signed plus/minus Team 1-19 Zack Thompson $3,359,000 $3,000,000 $359,000 GCL 2-58 Trejan Fletcher $1,214,300 $1,500,000 ($285,700) GCL 2-75traded to Arizona $831,200 3-96 Tony Locey $604,800 $604,800 $0 SC 4-125 Andre Pallante $455,600 5-155 Connor Thomas $340,000 $340,000 $0 SC 6-185 Pedro Pages $261,600 $250,000 $11,600 SC 7-215 Jack Ralston $204,800 8-245 Logan Gragg $167,800 $167,800 $0 SC 9-275 Todd Lott $152,000 $152,000 $0 JC 10-305 Jake Sommers $143,600 $10,000 $133,600 JC Pool $6,903,500 $6,024,600 $218,500 plus-10 rdrs > $125K Not in totals Signed plus/minus Team 12-365 Patrick Romeri $125,000 $200,000 ($75,000) GCL 14-425 Tyler Statler $125,000 $300,000 ($175,000) GCL 16-485 Thomas Hart $125,000 $200,000 ($75,000) GCL 22-665 Zade Richardson $125,000 $200,000 ($75,000) GCL 1-10 pool $6,903,500 $6,024,600 1-10-unsigned $0 revised pool $6,903,500 105% total $7,248,675 "extra" $345,175 +/- all ($181,500) no pick loss extra $ left $163,675 Cherry picking start date? – Yes

Rangel Ravelo has been on two different 40-man rosters but never called up. In his 10 minor league seasons, he was traded, outrighted and released, but kept at it. Now, the #stlcards have promoted the 27-year old to the majors. More in this free article. https://t.co/dAR3PJDbpI pic.twitter.com/lFnBf2YUS4

Update on the four signed Sunday:
Lex to SC
Pearce to JC
Richardson and Hart to GCLWith Four Signings, Cardinals Increase 2019 Draft Take to 28
On a light 2-1 Sunday across the #stlcards system, Player of the Day Austin Warner pitched Springfield to its fourth straight win. Peoria headed into the All-Star break with a W, but Memphis pitching yielded 11 runs. State Collegeās game was suspended. https://t.co/EpRNnPHGvu pic.twitter.com/lfHzGQkOMk

The #stlcards gained ground in the division in a 5-2 week in Miami and New York. Over the weekend, Mets killer Paul DeJong had three homers and two game-winning hits. In our history feature, several oddities in Albert Pujolsā 19-year career are noted. https://t.co/wkG63yigdI pic.twitter.com/Epi0cItkgk

I am hearing rumors that Munoz may be going out on paternity leave with Ravelo making his MLB debut. Not sure what the 40-man move would be.
Initially, I thought this did not compute. Then I remembered that OāNeill, Robinson and Thomas are all on the IL, so Adolis, Sosa or Knizner would be the only choices on the roster. Then it makes a bit more sense.
Among the many promotions coming on Monday is Diego Cordero from Peoria to Palm Beach.
Jacob Wilson, who had been in the Nationals organization the last season and a half, has moved to the Lotte Giants in Korea.
Met killer Paul DeJong gives the Cards the lead with a solo homer in the eighth.
Play-by-play is a lonely job, Pugs… When you return, please bring some offense with you!
I hope I wasn’t unclear. I said Drake, Machado and Cedeno are on the GCL roster now (which is true) in what appears to be a holding pattern/taxi squad. Since Palm Beach is currently eight players down, the latter two are certainly good candidates to become part of that roster backfill. Palm Beach would be a step down for Drake, but Memphis and Springfield both are at 24 players. I don’t understand the delay in activating him as he was playing in EST games over a month ago.
A special announcement for Pugs…
The Cardinal Nation's May Pitcher of the Month for the #stlcards system, Alex Fagalde, has joined our April honoree, Tommy Parsons, in a promotion to Springfield. No announcement yet, but Monday's starter for the Double-A Cards at Midland is listed as TBA. https://t.co/witoI6GXy1 pic.twitter.com/5f9UYw6TIu

Only one correction, Sooner. I have seen no evidence that Carpenter has ever asked to be placed in a particular spot in the lineup. In fact, I have heard him assert the opposite multiple times over the years. He is stubborn for sure, but not about this.
Other than the ones on July 2nd itself, the Cardinals do not announce any of their international signings.
This is the first year they have not announced draft signings via press release. Twitter is their 2019 vehicle. Seems very sub-optimal.
Goldy hits a 422-foot blast and gives the #STLCards an early 2-0 lead.

With one #stlcards US-based short-season team playing (State College) and two to go (Johnson City and Gulf Coast League), I analyze the early rosters, noting key promotions, 2019 draftee assignments, moves still to come, and much more. ($) https://t.co/sNHhQH5dEO pic.twitter.com/fK1kBWISuV

The #stlcards system went 2-4 on Saturday. Our Player of the Day is Springfield catcher Brian OāKeefe, who was 2-for-4 including a two-run home run in the Cardinals home win. https://t.co/vvUuvRvXJW pic.twitter.com/PGLMwQiEE0
