The Royals have made their draft picks, and news of their signings and their bonuses have begun to trickle in. Each of the picks in the first ten rounds is assigned a slot value that the Royals can sign a player above or below that number. After that round, each pick has a slot value of $150,000 where anything above that must come out of the bonus pool, but there are no savings if you sign someone below that number.
The Royals have a bonus pool of $12,749,700 to spend on their picks. If a team exceeds their total bonus pool, they must pay taxes on the overage.
