According to FanGraphs, the Brewers have the second-lowest draft pool in baseball at $5,148,200. The Brewers can use that money to sign the players selected in the draft this June. The team will face a penalty for exceeding these totals. The penalties are as follows:
0-5% and the Brewers pay a 75% on the overages
5-10% over and the team pays the tax and loses their first-round pick for next year
10-15% over ups the tax to 100% and costs the team their first-round pick
