American League Draft Signings: Picks & Bonus Info

By Mark Polishuk | July 5, 2020 at 10:46pm CDT

Here is the list of every American League team’s picks over the five rounds (plus the free agent compensation sandwich picks and the two Competitive Balance Rounds) of the 2020 draft.  Slot price information and — if available — the amount of the player’s bonus are listed, as well as each club’s total draft bonus spending pool.  If a player doesn’t sign with the team, the slot price attached to the player’s draft spot is removed from the team’s pool.

Exceeding the draft pool limit by 10 percent or less of the pool value will cost a team a 75 percent tax on the overage, as well as the forfeiture of a future first-round pick if they exceed the pool by between 5-10 percent.  A 100 percent tax on the overage is levied if a team exceeds its pool by more than 10 percent of the total pool value, with heavier pick penalties: a future first- and second-round pick if a team’s extra spending falls between 10-15 percent of the pool limit, and two future first-round picks if the pool is exceeded by more than 15 percent.  Needless to say, it would be shocking if any team topped the five percent threshold, though going over the pool limit by 0-5 percent isn’t uncommon.

For further reference, here is the rundown of draft signings for National League teams.  These lists will be frequently updated as more players sign prior to the August 1 deadline, so keep the posts bookmarked for future updates!

    Curious why it was so important for the Torkleson camp to sign for $1,000 over slot.

      I believe he became the first first-overall pick to receive a bonus above slot.

    Teams saved a bundle because of the 5-round draft and the 20K ceiling on undrafted free agents. So if they went a little above their allotment up top, it’s no big deal.

    If a drafed player does not sign does the team lose the slot $$ allocation or can they use it to sign a different draftee?

      No, they lose the slot value from the total signing budget.
