Baseball America has announced every team’s draft bonus allotments for the 2018 MLB Draft. The Milwaukee Brewers have been in the top of this category the last few years, but now sit in the bottom ten in terms of total draft pool size.
According to the website, the Brewers will have $6,572,600 for the coming draft’s allotment pool. This means that the Brewers can use that money to sign the players it drafts in June. The team can exceed this total by up to 5% and only pay a 75% tax on the overages. Anything over 5% will cost the team a draft pick, with the penalty getting worse every 5% after the first tier.
