Follow on Google News | The MLB Signing Bonus Pool for College and High School Baseball Players in the 2014 MLB DraftThe 2014 MLB draft is set for June 5-7. Advantage Link Sports Management provides a look at the Signing Bonus Allotments for each MLB Team.
“The total allotment for the first 10 rounds of the draft is $205,786,400, and teams almost certainly will exceed that amount. The industry spent $219,302,880 in 2013 on signing bonuses, the second-highest total ever but below the more than $228 million laid out in 2011, the last year of the previous Collective Bargaining Agreement,” stated Advantage Link Sports Management CEO Mark Taggatz. Club Signing Bonus Pool Miami Marlins $14,199,300 Houston Astros $13,362,200 Chicago White Sox $9,509,700 Toronto Blue Jays $9,458,500 Kansas City Royals $8,602,900 Chicago Cubs $8,352,200 Colorado Rockies $8,347,300 Cleveland Indians $8,234,100 Milwaukee Brewers $7,605,600 Minnesota Twins $7,525,600 Arizona Diamondbacks $7,228,300 St. Louis Cardinals $7,087,200 Cincinnati Reds $6,973,400 Philadelphia Phillies $6,896,700 Seattle Mariners $6,767,900 Boston Red Sox $6,373,300 San Diego Padres $6,098,600 San Francisco Giants $5,949,800 Tampa Bay Rays $5,848,400 Los Angeles Angels $5,774,000 Pittsburgh Pirates $5,606,100 New York Mets $5,308,300 Washington Nationals $5,275,700 Los Angeles Dodgers $4,947,700 Detroit Tigers $4,890,200 Texas Rangers $4,820,700 Oakland Athletics $4,778,300 Atlanta Braves $4,557,700 New York Yankees $3,202,300 Baltimore Orioles $2,204,400 The Astros’ No. 1 selection has a $7,922,100 bonus allotment. The largest signing bonus in draft history remains the $8 million straight bonus Gerrit Cole received from the Pirates as the No. 1 overall selection in 2011. The current CBA went into place for the 2012 draft, and MLB for the first time installed bonus pools with penalties for clubs that spend beyond their allotment. No team has triggered the harshest penalties, including forfeiture of future first-round picks, but teams can go over their allotment. “Going over by 0-5 percent leads to a 75 percent tax on the overage, but anything over 5 percent starts triggering loss of draft picks,” added Taggatz.
