2012 Aggregate Bonus Pools
The Royals bonus pool for the draft has been limited to $6,101,500 for their first 10 picks. Last year they spent $11,405,000 (3rd-highest in baseball). They can go up to 4.9% higher if they are willing to pay a 75% tax on the overage (so they could spend about $6,400,475 on their first 10 picks if they are willing to write a check to MLB for about $225,000), but they can't go over that without losing a draft pick in 2013.
Bonuses for Picks made in rounds 11 through 40 are limited to $100,000 each.
