The Baseball Draft Bonus Pool

What the baseball draft bonus pool system produces for amateur talent acquisition

The System

The MLB draft bonus pool system -- the specific constraint on the total bonus money that each team can spend on its draft picks, which was introduced in the 2012 CBA to limit the spending disparity between the high-revenue and low-revenue clubs -- is the accountability journalism of the specific competitive balance mechanism whose outcomes the draft performance data can be assessed against.

The Outcomes

The outcomes: the bonus pool system has constrained the specific spending disparity that the pre-2012 draft produced. The specific teams that have operated most efficiently within the pool constraint -- identifying the specific players whose talent-to-bonus ratio allows the pool money to be distributed effectively -- have produced the specific draft success that the pool constraint was designed to enable.
