The Phillies have signed 19 of their 20 picks from the 2021 Amateur Draft and 10 non-drafter free agents. They added #16 RHP Ty Collins to the fold on Sunday. They have not signed their #19 selection. The signing bonuses for the 19 have been published. By my calculations, they spent over their draft allotment, but within the 5% overage that carries no penalty. They left a little over $34K on the table. The total spent on drafted and non-drafted players is a little over $9.5 million.
The deadline for signing draft picks passed Sunday afternoon. However, they can still sign non-drafted players, college or high school, up until they return to school.
Here’s what’s been released. A complete breakdown is in the 2021 Draft Tracker. For the sake of consistency, I have used the Baseball America numbers. They report #$ Ottenbreit’s bonus $2.5K lower than MLB. But, they also are reporting all bonuses, MLB hasn’t reported any below #10.

Drafted players do NOT count against the 180 player limit for stateside rosters until they are placed on a roster and play in a league game. They WILL count when the season is over and the limit goes to 190 players. NDFAs count 15 days after signing if not on a league roster before then.

All draft talk is encouraged here. This is the last entry for the 2021 draft.
Nice work in signing all but one of the draftees. I’m sure that one of the NDFAs is a good replacement for not signing#19 Seth Halverson.
Agreed, very happy with that. Can’t wait for these kids to start playing and hopefully begin rebuilding our farm.
In 4-5 years we will have a better understanding if this draft was the continuation of our system being turned around, or just another link in the chain.
