Amateur Signing Bonuses Series

By Mike Axisa | November 17, 2010 at 10:53pm CDT

Over the last month or so we've looked at the five largest signing bonuses each team has given to amateur prospects. The vast majority of those bonuses were given to drafted players, but there were certainly plenty of international free agents from Latin America and Asia as well. The bonuses included in the series total just under $500.4MM, ranging from the Braves ($9.67MM) to the Rays ($30.75MM) at the extremes. Here's a link back to all 30 clubs…

AL East

Blue Jays ($13.2MM)
Orioles ($20.072MM)
Rays ($30.75MM)
Red Sox ($15.75MM)
Yankees ($13.44MM)

AL Central
Indians ($14.875MM)
Royals
($20.25MM)
Tigers ($18.78MM)
Twins ($15.5MM)
White Sox ($15.306MM)

AL West

Angels ($16.63MM)
Athletics
($14.4MM)
Mariners
($16.34MM)
Rangers ($14.195MM)

NL East

Braves ($9.67MM)
Marlins ($13.425MM)
Mets ($13.3MM)
Nationals ($22.325MM)
Phillies ($13.18MM)

    Oh, the Yankees number isn’t the highest? Weird.

      Not really, the Yanks haven’t had a really high draft pick in a while and, thus, no opportunities to give record bonuses.

        this included internationals as well, but point well taken

          It doesn’t look like it does. Hechevarria signed for 10mil with the Jays but that doesnt seem to be included in the total.

          if you open the Jays bonus page you will see Hech is at the top of the list. and it was a $4 million signing bonus, the 10 mil was for the total contract

        Exactly. Teams that perennially pick at the top of the draft are going to have to pay more to sign their players than teams that pick at the end of the draft. However, teams like the Yankees do have the advantage of signing players that fall due to salary demands or to give players much higher than slot recommendations.

    Here’s a question…

    Are the amount adjusted for inflation? Because 2M in 1998 is worth much, much more than 2M in 2010.

    So, it’s pretty inaccurate.

      Not adjusted for inflation. The signing bonuses are snapshots of what the teams have spent. The data goes back for every team so it’s okay to total them up this way without adjusting for inflation. If you do adjust them it would give you an idea of what each team has spent in todays dollars but simply adding them up like this tells you everything you need to know about what each team has spent overall.
