THE BONUS POOL EXPLAINED
Under the MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), each team receives an allotted bonus pool equal to the sum of the slot values of that club's selections in the first ten rounds of the annual First-Year Player Draft. The more picks a team has in the first ten rounds, and the earlier the picks are in those rounds, the larger the bonus pool total.
The signing bonuses for a team's selections in the first ten rounds, plus any bonus greater than $125,000 for a player taken after the first ten rounds, will apply toward the bonus pool total. If a player selected in the first ten rounds does not sign, the associated slot value is removed from the team’s bonus pool total.
