Major League Drafts are different than any other sport. You can’t just freely draft players like you do in other leagues. Each team has a bonus pool allotted to them that they have to stay under. In 2016, the Braves have a total of $13,319,600 in bonus pool money – third highest behind the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies. The lowest amount is the Chicago Cubs at $2,245,100.
