Here are the 2020 Draft pools and bonus values

May 29th, 2020

The Tigers and Orioles own the top two picks and the largest bonus pools in the 2020 Draft. While Detroit will make the first selection, Baltimore has slightly more spending power.

The Tigers' No. 1 overall choice comes with an assigned value of $8,415,300, compared to $7,789,900 for the Orioles' No. 2 overall pick. But Baltimore has a significantly higher competitive balance pick (No. 30 versus No. 62), moving its bonus pool slightly ahead of Detroit's.

As part of the negotiations for a 2020 season radically altered by the coronavirus, the MLB Players Association agreed to allow MLB to shorten the Draft to as few as five rounds. MLB elected to do so, and the Orioles will have the highest bonus pool at $13,894,300, followed by the Tigers at $13,325,700.

Originally, the assigned values for each selection were supposed to rise 3.5 percent, reflecting the increase in MLB's annual revenues. The MLBPA agreed to allow MLB to freeze those values at the 2019 numbers for both the 2020 and 2021 Drafts.

The Royals ($12,521,300), Marlins ($12,016,900), Pirates ($11,154,500), Padres ($10,674,000), Rockies ($10,339,700) and Mariners ($10,265,500) also have eight-figure bonus pools. The Astros, who lost their first- and second-round choices as part of their penalty for sign stealing, have the smallest pool at $2,202,600 in a five-round Draft.

Each pick in the five rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for each of a team's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in those rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his club's pool. The pools for all 30 teams will total $235,906,800, an average of $7,863,560 per club.

Last year, the industry spent a record $316,560,984 on Draft bonuses, including $55,896,284 after the 10th round. Total spending will drop significantly in 2020 with a much shorter Draft and a $20,000 limit on bonuses for non-drafted free agents. The MLBPA also agreed to let teams pay players no more than $100,000 up front, meaning they can defer at least $219.9 million, with half that amount being paid on July 1, 2021 and the other half on July 1, 2022.

Since the bonus pool era began in 2012, no player has signed for more than the record $8.1 million Adley Rutschman received from the Orioles as the No. 1 overall selection last year. Teams near the top of the Draft often spend less than their full allotment for those choices and use the savings to spend more on later selections, though such maneuvering would be more difficult than usual in a five-round Draft.

If a club exceeds its assigned pool, it faces a penalty. Teams that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.

In eight years with these rules, teams have exceeded their allotments a total of 149 times but never by more than 5 percent. Twenty-one of the 30 teams outspent their pools last year.
